About Open Data Week
Open Data Week is an annual festival of community-driven events organized and produced by the Office of Data Strategy at the Office of Technology and Innovation (OTI), BetaNYC, and Data Through Design.
Every year, New Yorkers come together online and across the five boroughs to celebrate public data in New York City and mark the anniversary of the City’s first open data law, which was signed on March 7, 2012. Throughout Open Data Week, we rally NYC’s civic tech and open data communities and offer opportunities for more people to learn about and engage with municipal public data.
The 2027 festival kicks off at the opening of Data Through Design‘s annual art exhibition. Throughout the two weeks, participants can engage with NYC Open Data at dozens of virtual and in-person events, including NYC School of Data, a day-long in-person conference hosted by BetaNYC.

NYC Open Data
NYC Open Data is a free public resource with billions of rows of information about how New York City works. It is managed by the Open Data Team, which works with City agencies to make data available, coordinate platform operations and improvements, and promote the use of Open Data both within government and for every New Yorker.
NYC Open Data is led by the NYC Office of Technology and Innovation’s Office of Data Strategy.

BetaNYC
BetaNYC is a civic organization improving the lives of New Yorkers through civic technology, design, and open data. Its public programs support the use of open data and technology across the five boroughs. BetaNYC’s Civic Innovation Fellowship trains the next generation of civic leaders. And BetaNYC’s Civic Innovation Lab builds solutions to data and technology needs in our communities.
BetaNYC wants New York’s governments to work for the people, by the people, for the digital era. Since 2010, Beta has called for government transparency and supported the City’s open data law and its amendments. To support this work, BetaNYC co-organizes the annual Open Data Week festival, and runs the School of Data public interest technology conference.
