About NYC School of Data:
NYC School of Data is BetaNYC's annual community-driven conference. With programming support from NYC Mayor's Office of Data Analytics, we bring together city officials, activists, & community members to talk about open data, civic technology, & service design. This year, we are closing out NYC Open Data Week with a bang.

From over 90 community suggested sessions, we are organizing 18 thought provoking panels, 35 workshops, 7 office hours with NYC agencies, & 10 demo/usability sessions to cover a wide variety of topics - digital & data literacy, privacy, smart cities, open government, service design, civic engagement, & open data. Join us & celebrate the birthday of New York City's Open Data Law.

Come learn & contribute to the next decade of technology, data, & policy - by us, for us!
