Keeping It Urban: Art, Tech, Collective

Keeping It Urban is a one-day summit, kicking off NYC Open Data Week on Friday, March 20th at Cornell Tech. It’s an ode to the diversity and abundance of technology and culture born only from the density of NYC.

This event was born from frustration with the top-down silos we kept seeing: urban tech talks that center on infrastructure and zoning, and AI conversations entirely removed from the people and becoming doomsday narratives.

None of it actually acknowledges the creative artists, open-sourced solutions, or the human flourishing that drives the true economic engine of NYC!

So, we’ve curated a full day of 3 stacked panels, 4+ artist showcases, and 5+ startup pitches featuring Streetlife Ventures, Spotify, MIT Media Lab, New York City Council, Sidewalk Labs (Part of Google), Everywhere Ventures, Fauna Robotics, Backslash Artists, and more.

Celebrating the playful, inventive tech being built right now and right here at Cornell Tech & New York City!

Tickets on Luma. More info keepingiturban.com. 

This event will be held at the Tata Innovation Center, Studio 141, 11 E Loop Rd, New York, NY 10044.
