General Admission Tickets Are Now Available for CityCamp NYC 2026!
The early bird window has closed, and general admission tickets for CityCamp NYC 2026 are now on sale for $50. Join us on Saturday, September 19, at Hunter College for a full day of community-led sessions on how technology, data, design, and policy can help New York City work better for everyone.
Your ticket covers the whole day: participant-created sessions, coffee, breakfast, lunch, and snacks. Free professional on-site childcare is available with advance registration (limited spots available).
What is CityCamp NYC?
CityCamp is a civic sandbox. There is no fixed agenda when you walk in. By mid-morning there is one, and you helped build it. New Yorkers from government, community organizations, universities, and more pitch the sessions and lead the day together.
You do not have to pitch anything to belong here. Plenty of people come to listen, join other people’s conversations, and leave with a notebook full of things they did not know that morning. That is a complete way to attend.
