The Philippines is made up of more than 7,000 islands, and there are more than 7,000 reasons to love it! We are delighted to share that the State of the Map global conference will be coming to Manila, Philippines, from 3 to 5 October 2025. This is a historic moment for Southeast Asia as this will be the first global SotM in the region.
The OSM Philippines community warmly invites passionate OSM contributors—mappers, data enthusiasts, developers, and community organizers and members from all around the world—to celebrate the spirit of collaboration and open mapping, look back to where we came from, look closely at where we are now, and look forward to where we would like to be next.
Following the positive feedback for the past two conferences post-pandemic, the upcoming State of the Map 2025 will once again be held in a hybrid format. We are committed to making SotM even more inclusive and accessible, bringing in new voices and new faces, to participate in this open mapping festivity.
Save the date! Stay tuned via our website, 2025.stateofthemap.org, for more updates on speakers, agenda, ticketing, and how to get involved as the event draws closer. Let’s gather our ideas, pack our maps, and gear up for a one-of-a-kind mappy experience at State of the Map 2025 in Manila!

Announcing our SotM 2025 Logo
We would like to thank everyone who took part in the SotM 2025 Call for Logo! We received more than 15 proposals from creative contributors from all over the world!
…however, only one design will be the new face of this year’s conference!
Congratulations to Andi Muhlis for submitting the winning logo inspired by the iconic jeepney of Manila, which embodies the vibrant spirit and creativity of the Philippines.
The logo features a stylized jeepney, paying homage to local cultural heritage. A detailed segment of the Manila map is also prominently displayed, symbolizing our commitment to the global mapping community. The design seamlessly integrates traditional and modern elements, reflecting Manila’s unique character.
