About Open Data Week
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.
Every March, 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. Coincidentally, the first weekend of March is also International Open Data Day. 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 2026 Festival kicks off at the opening of Data Through Design‘s annual art exhibition. Throughout the week, participants can engage with NYC Open Data at dozens of virtual and in-person events. We’ll close out the week with BetaNYC’s annual civic tech conference, NYC School of Data, taking place at CUNY School of Law in Long Island City.
