Open Data Week is an annual festival of community-driven events organized and produced by the NYC Open Data Team at the Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI), BetaNYC, and Data Through Design. The 2024 Festival kicked off at the opening of Data Through Design‘s annual art exhibition. Throughout the week, participants engaged with NYC Open Data at dozens of virtual and in-person events. We closed out the week with BetaNYC’s annual civic tech conference, NYC School of Data, which took place at CUNY School of Law in Long Island City.
