About BetaBagels
BetaBagels is a NYC breakfast series where you can chat with government & civic leaders using tech, data, and design to bring transparency to government and improve our city.
Each event features government employees or local leaders who are using technology, data, or design to transform NYC from the inside out.
The first event took place in 2018 and ever since, we’ve had a number of conversations with government offices and data labs!
All are welcome!
