&lt;div&gt;= What is Pista ng Mapa =&lt;br /&gt;
[https://pistangmapa.org Pista ng Mapa] (Festival of Maps) is the pioneer and premier free and open conference in the Philippines made for and by people who have a passion for open mapping, open data, and open source. It is an outreach activity to generate public interest, advocate and advance the use of open (geo) data, promote free and open source software for geospatial (FOSS4G), and support local open mapping communities around the Philippines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the first Pista in 2019, it has brought together countless participants from different backgrounds to celebrate open source, open data, and open geospatial and have inspired new members to join, help, or start their own communities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is an event run wholly by volunteers and advocates from the local OpenStreetMap, OSGeo/FOSS4G, and other map-py communities—tracing its roots to past [[Philippines | FOSS4G Philippines]] events (since 2012), Maptime Diliman meetups (since 2015), and local OpenStreetMap activities (since 2000s).&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= Overview =&lt;br /&gt;
[[Pista ng Mapa | Pista ng Mapa]] 2020 was originally scheduled to be held on-site at the City of Cebu on May 27-29, 2020 but due to the COVID-19 pandemic it became a remote/online conference (the first Pista ng Mapa to do so) held on November 13, 20 &amp;amp; 27, 2020.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Attendance and Participants =&lt;br /&gt;
Pista ng Mapa 2020 was attended remotely by '''152''' participants from around the Philippines and the Asia-Pacific region. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Conference Program =&lt;br /&gt;
See: [https://pistangmapa.org/2020/programme/ PnM 2020 Conference Program]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In total there were 42 presentations divided into:&lt;br /&gt;

Those who attended all 3 days of the conference got a free Pista ng Mapa 2020 shirt, conference certificate, and conference swags.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
= Partners and Sponsor =&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;= What is Pista ng Mapa =&lt;br /&gt;
[https://pistangmapa.org Pista ng Mapa] (Festival of Maps) is the pioneer and premier free and open conference in the Philippines made for and by people who have a passion for open mapping, open data, and open source. It is an outreach activity to generate public interest, advocate and advance the use of open (geo) data, promote free and open source software for geospatial (FOSS4G), and support local open mapping communities around the Philippines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since the first Pista in 2019, it has brought together countless participants from different backgrounds to celebrate open source, open data, and open geospatial and have inspired new members to join, help, or start their own communities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is an event run wholly by volunteers and advocates from the local OpenStreetMap, OSGeo/FOSS4G, and other map-py communities—tracing its to past [[Philippines | FOSS4G Philippines]] events (since 2012), Maptime Diliman meetups (since 2015), and local OpenStreetMap activities (since 2000s).&lt;br /&gt;
