EVENT DETAILS |
Join us for our annual community-driven public interest technology conference. Participants come to learn, network, & collaborate around public interest technology, data, & design in New York City. With programming support from the Open Data Team at the NYC Office of Technology & Innovation, our conference convenes city officials, technologists, designers, data analysts, & community members around open data, civic technology, & service design in New York City.
Our conference will be at CUNY School of Law on March 23rd, 2024, to commemorate the 14th anniversary of International Open Data Day, the 12th anniversary of the City's transformative Open Data Law, & the conclusion of NYC Open Data Week.
There will be panels, workshops, demos, talks, presentations, & office hours with NYC agencies, on topics such as digital inclusion, service design & delivery, digital literacy, open data & data standards, & civic engagement. We want to equip YOU with tools & information to empower you to build a better civic society for ALL New Yorkers.
