SUMMARY:Festival Keynote: Rahul Bhargava on Community Data
DESCRIPTION:Join the CUNY Graduate Center for a pre-Open Data Week keynote featuring Rahul Bhargava\, the author of Community Data. Presented by the Masters in Data Analysis and Visualization and the Masters in Digital Humanities programs. \nDatafication has driven the adoption of new quantified processes in civic contexts\, but our tools and methods haven’t adapted to be more participatory and empowering. The traditional toolbox of surveys\, spreadsheets\, and charts wasn’t designed for community settings. Artists\, planners\, designers\, non-profits\, journalists\, and others are pushing the boundaries of data representation in order to meet audiences where they are with impactful multi-sensory data stories. Physical data sculptures\, embodied data theatre\, participatory data murals\, data sonification performance—these are the new practices we need to cultivate in order to engage larger groups of people around data in community settings. Join us to explore how we can hear\, feel\, smell\, and taste our data to create more inclusive data experiences. \nThis event will now be held in room C201/202/203 on the Concourse level of the Graduate Center. Attendees should come in through the main entrance and take the elevator down to the C level.

SUMMARY:Keeping It Urban: Art\, Tech\, Collective
DESCRIPTION: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. \nThis 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! \nSo\, 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. \nCelebrating the playful\, inventive tech being built right now and right here at Cornell Tech & New York City! \nTickets on Luma. More info keepingiturban.com.  \nThis event will be held at the Tata Innovation Center\, Studio 141\, 11 E Loop Rd\, New York\, NY 10044.

SUMMARY:Echo{logies}\, Data Through Design Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Echo{logies} is the 2026 exhibition of Data Through Design\, an independent collective who organize an annual art exhibition featuring works that creatively analyze\, interpret\, and interrogate data made available on NYC Open Data. \nVisiting the Exhibition\nThe exhibition is open to the public daily from 12pm to 7 pm during Open Data Week. On March 21\, we will host an opening event that requires RSVP. \nWhen: March 21 – April 5\, 2026\, 12:00pm – 7:00pm \nWhere: BRIC\, 647 Fulton Street (at Rockwell Place)\, Brooklyn\, NY 11217 \nOpening Event: Saturday\, March 21\, 6:30 – 8:30 PM; RSVP. \nAbout Echo{logies}\nThe projects in Echo{logies} work with the bodies of knowledge\, or “-logies”\, that reverberate through New York City’s data. They explore ecosystems and cycles of life expressed in data; the rhythms of growth\, decay\, renewal\, and transformation as they “echo” through data\, and the interplay between human and non-human worlds. \nThis year’s theme engages with questions such as: How can the city\, and data itself\, be understood as ecological and cyclical? How might data be materialized\, embodied\, or inscribed by natural processes? What accumulates\, erodes\, regenerates\, lingers as traces\, or resonates as echoes? \nThe work in this exhibition makes data felt\, witnessed\, or transformed—through physicalization\, interaction\, or by exposing how nature itself records and inscribes change. The artworks engage with living systems\, natural or urban ecologies\, or information ecosystems\, and examine materiality and craft\, murmurations and flows\, entropy and genesis\, and the sublime scale of ecological change. \n\nDesire Paths: Becca Ellsworth & Becca Odell\nHartLine: Ian Callender & Karla Rothstein\nLandscape Workshop: Mark Heller & Mariel Collard Arias\nLinger Loiter: Charlotte Gartenberg & Ivan Himanen\nMetropolitan Cuneiform: Jingrong Zhang\nThe Oracle of Gotham: Karissa Whiting & Elizabeth Costa\nTurnstile Murmurations: Trpti Sanghvi\nUrban Data Orchestra: Composing the Hidden Rhythms of the City: Elina Oikonomaki & Lukas Lesina Debiasi\nWaste Rhythms: Living Records of NYC Communities: HaoChe Hung & Tianxing (Vincent) Zhu\nWild Lots: Craig Fahner & al haley\n\nEcho{logies} is organized and curated by the 2026 Data Through Design team: Julia Bloom\, Tereza Chanaki\, Rachel Daniell\, Jack Darcey\, Sara Eichner\, Justin Roberts\, and Can Sucuoğlu.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for the opening reception for the 2026 Data Through Design (DxD) exhibition\, Echo{logies}. Data Through Design is an independent collective who organize an annual art exhibition featuring works that creatively analyze\, interpret\, and interrogate data made available on NYC Open Data. RSVP here \nAbout the Exhibition\nThe 2026 Echo{logies} exhibition\, which runs through April 5\, contains ten data-driven\, interdisciplinary art projects presented in partnership with BRIC. The projects in DxD 2026 work with the bodies of knowledge\, or “-logies”\, that reverberate through New York City’s data. They explore ecosystems and cycles of life expressed in data; the rhythms of growth\, decay\, renewal\, and transformation as they “echo” through data\, and the interplay between human and non-human worlds.

SUMMARY:Queens & Me: Neighborhood Stories Beyond the Data
DESCRIPTION:What’s your Queens story? Join Kelly Jean Fitzsimmons and other No\, YOU Tell It! producers to discover the personal stories behind the public places we share. Participants will use writing prompts to interact with the Queens Name Explorer\, an interactive digital map developed by Queens Memory and Urban Archive\, alongside data gathered from numerous New York City and State sources. Together\, we will learn the historical significance behind the people’s names that grace Queens streets\, parks\, monuments\, and more\, including luminaries who will be honored at the Women’s History Month exhibition on view at Culture Lab LIC\, where this workshop will be held. \nParticipants will explore their place in Queens through a series of written and visual prompts\, including a scavenger hunt through the exhibition to engage with the personal stories of these historic Queens women. The program will culminate in a story-sharing activity that invites participants to pick a point on the map and trade tales of their experiences on that spot to enrich local history with our shared and unique stories. \nRegister here.

SUMMARY:A Treasure Hunt through NYC Open Data
DESCRIPTION:Unlock the secrets of the city in this interactive data treasure hunt! We will present a series of data-driven prompts guiding attendees through unique statistical signatures found in NYC Open Data covering topics like taxis\, crime\, schools\, and parks. Participants will spend the session solving progressively difficult analytical questions\, requiring everything from simple lookups to complex cross-referencing across datasets. \nAs we discuss the answer to each prompt\, a panel of experts from the New York City Chapter of The American Statistical Association will take the investigation one step deeper\, presenting a bite-sized lesson on a statistical concept related to the question. Attendees will learn about tools that can be adapted to many other settings\, such as distributional thinking\, outlier detection\, hypothesis testing\, and exploratory data analysis. The session culminates in a final puzzle: figuring out the hidden theme that connects all the mystery answers together. This session is ideal for data scientists\, students\, civic tech enthusiasts\, or anyone looking to sharpen their analytical toolkit\, open data scientific educational opportunity for all\, undergraduate and graduate students very welcome.

SUMMARY:Echo{logies}\, Data Through Design Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Echo{logies} is the 2026 exhibition of Data Through Design\, an independent collective who organize an annual art exhibition featuring works that creatively analyze\, interpret\, and interrogate data made available on NYC Open Data. \nVisiting the Exhibition\nThe exhibition is open to the public daily from 12pm to 7 pm during Open Data Week. On March 21\, we will host an opening event that requires RSVP. \nWhen: March 21 – April 5\, 2026\, 12:00pm – 7:00pm \nWhere: BRIC\, 647 Fulton Street (at Rockwell Place)\, Brooklyn\, NY 11217 \nOpening Event: Saturday\, March 21\, 6:30 – 8:30 PM; RSVP. \nAbout Echo{logies}\nThe projects in Echo{logies} work with the bodies of knowledge\, or “-logies”\, that reverberate through New York City’s data. They explore ecosystems and cycles of life expressed in data; the rhythms of growth\, decay\, renewal\, and transformation as they “echo” through data\, and the interplay between human and non-human worlds. \nThis year’s theme engages with questions such as: How can the city\, and data itself\, be understood as ecological and cyclical? How might data be materialized\, embodied\, or inscribed by natural processes? What accumulates\, erodes\, regenerates\, lingers as traces\, or resonates as echoes? \nThe work in this exhibition makes data felt\, witnessed\, or transformed—through physicalization\, interaction\, or by exposing how nature itself records and inscribes change. The artworks engage with living systems\, natural or urban ecologies\, or information ecosystems\, and examine materiality and craft\, murmurations and flows\, entropy and genesis\, and the sublime scale of ecological change. \n\nDesire Paths: Becca Ellsworth & Becca Odell\nHartLine: Ian Callender & Karla Rothstein\nLandscape Workshop: Mark Heller & Mariel Collard Arias\nLinger Loiter: Charlotte Gartenberg & Ivan Himanen\nMetropolitan Cuneiform: Jingrong Zhang\nThe Oracle of Gotham: Karissa Whiting & Elizabeth Costa\nTurnstile Murmurations: Trpti Sanghvi\nUrban Data Orchestra: Composing the Hidden Rhythms of the City: Elina Oikonomaki & Lukas Lesina Debiasi\nWaste Rhythms: Living Records of NYC Communities: HaoChe Hung & Tianxing (Vincent) Zhu\nWild Lots: Craig Fahner & al haley\n\nEcho{logies} is organized and curated by the 2026 Data Through Design team: Julia Bloom\, Tereza Chanaki\, Rachel Daniell\, Jack Darcey\, Sara Eichner\, Justin Roberts\, and Can Sucuoğlu.

SUMMARY:NYC PIT Pop Up: CUNY Open Data Takeover Day One
DESCRIPTION:As part of NYC Open Data Week 2026\, the CUNY Public Interest Technology (PIT) Lab will host a week-long Open Data Takeover of the NYC PIT Pop-Up at the Oculus / World Trade Center. The activation advances Open Data Week’s goals of accessibility\, civic learning\, and practical use of open data by bringing open data projects into a highly visible\, public-facing space. Attendees can drop in at any time during the hours below for a demonstration of the tool and to speak with the presenter. Most of the demos will also be streamed live from the Pop-Up on its Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/cunypitlab). Inside the Oculus\, the Pop-Up is located on the Main Floor C2\, in the South Concourse\, at Shop #53 (next to M.A.C. Cosmetics). View the full PIT Lab schedule. No RSVP needed\, just stop by! \n[2pm-6pm]\nSneha Srivastava – What’s Lost in the Waters? Dive into NYC’s Flood Vulnerability Index\nThe goal of this project is to visualize the variables included in New York City’s Flood Vulnerability Index dataset. The key visualization is a three-dimensional interactive model\, mapping the Flood Susceptibility to Harm and Recovery Index against the median household income of each census tract within the city\, in addition to maps of future flooding scenarios. As such\, the project tackles issues of environmental justice and sustainability\, while addressing the policy implications of climate resilience in different neighborhoods. \nThe Cloud is a Place in Brooklyn\nIn this speculative design workshop\, we ask: What if our data infrastructure lived in our neighborhood parks\, schools\, or community gardens? What if a data center didn’t just store files\, but also used its excess heat to warm a public pool in the winter? What if your neighborhood’s digital history was stored in a “Community Memory Bank” that you helped manage? What if data infrastructure was owned by communities and served community needs? \nApurva Jhamb – Brooklyn Through Data Design : Mapping Place\, Power\, and Urban Systems\nCentered on Brooklyn\, the event will showcase a series of data-driven maps and visual narratives created using NYC Open Data datasets related to housing\, land use\, landmarks\, environmental conditions\, and neighborhood change. The session will demonstrate how public data when paired with thoughtful design can move beyond technical analysis to become an accessible storytelling tool for communities\, planners\, designers\, and civic technologists.

SUMMARY:Tracking NYC Trash: Using Open Data to Understand and Improve the City’s Waste System
DESCRIPTION:Every trash bag on the curb tells a story about what we buy\, what we waste\, and how our city works behind the scenes to manage it all. Yet for most New Yorkers\, what happens to our trash after collection remains largely invisible. This session pulls back the curtain\, showing how publicly available data can help residents better understand New York City’s waste system and use that knowledge to push for smarter\, fairer\, and more sustainable solutions. Led by the volunteer team behind Track NYC Trash — a project of the Brooklyn and Manhattan Solid Waste Advisory Boards — this session explores how open data can become a powerful tool for understanding waste management across the five boroughs. \nParticipants will receive a guided\, hands-on demonstration of the Track NYC Trash dashboards\, which translate complex datasets from the NYC Department of Sanitation and other agencies into clear\, accessible visuals. Using sources such as DSNY’s Monthly Tonnage Data\, the 2023 Waste Characterization Study\, and Census-based population figures\, this session will highlight key trends in recycling\, composting\, waste export\, and neighborhood-level performance. Attendees will learn how to interpret these numbers\, connect them to everyday experience\, and use them to better understand whether the City is meeting its stated waste and climate goals. \nDesigned for residents\, advocates\, students\, journalists\, public servants\, and curious neighbors\, this event welcomes anyone who cares about their community and wants better information to support meaningful change. No technical background is required. Participants will leave with practical tools to engage in data-informed advocacy — and with a deeper sense of how open data can help build a cleaner\, more transparent\, and more accountable New York City.

SUMMARY:Open Data Lightning Talk Showcase
DESCRIPTION:Come to the NYC Office of Technology & Innovation offices at 2 MetroTech Center in Downtown Brooklyn for a series of lightning talks\, each of which explores how open data interacts with aspects of everyday life. Afterwards\, join us for a happy hour a few blocks away at Sound & Fury Brewery and Kitchen (141 Lawrence St\, Brooklyn). \nThese lightning talks will cover projects on the price of groceries\, picking public schools\, deciding delivery routes\, applying to city jobs and compliance for small property owners. Full details of the talks will be added as they get confirmed. \nAndre Debuisne “Using Open Data to accurately generate hyperlocal delivery routes in NYC”\nHudson Shipping Co generates its own delivery routes using in-house optimization technology. Part of the input data comes from NYC Open Data\, which helps the last-mile operator find the best route for a given day\, based on road conditions\, planned street closures and many other data points. \nAdrian Liang “Applying to NYC’s public high schools by harnessing NYC Open Data resources”\nEvery year\, over 70\,000 NYC public middle school students take part in the high school application process. This involves researching and deciding what programs to list on applications from over 900 possible high school program choices. NYC-SIFT aggregates public data from over 20 different datasets found on NYC Open Data and NYC DOE InfoHub. This talk will include a discussion of relevant datasets\, how this data is organized\, and how students and parents use this data to make informed decisions during the high school application process. \nCharles Ludwig “One Search\, 4\,000+ Careers: Unifying New York’s Public Sector Government Job Market”\nNavigating public service careers shouldn’t require checking ten different websites. This talk explores the development of NY Gov Jobs\, a unified platform that aggregates over 4\,000 active salaried listings across NYC City agencies\, New York State\, CUNY\, SUNY\, the MTA\, public health systems\, and the NYPL. We’ll discuss the technical challenges of normalizing data from multiple jurisdictions and how a single\, browser-friendly interface can democratize access to public sector employment.\n \nShiva Muthiah “PriceWise – A community-built grocery price database for budget-conscious people”\nThis talk will demo the tool PriceWise (https://www.pricewise.nyc) — a community database of food prices that helps people digitize purchase receipts and draws from NYC Open Data to connect them with stores and neighborhoods. As New Yorkers struggle with inflation\, this tool aims to help them work together to pool pricing information. \nParris Taylor “From Transparency to Decision Infrastructure”\nNew York City has achieved something rare: a deeply structured\, publicly accessible regulatory data ecosystem. But access is not the same as usability\, and transparency is not the same as prevention. As an operator managing real assets in NYC\, I’ve seen how DOB\, HPD\, FDNY\, and DOF datasets remain difficult to operationalize for small property owners. Compliance still requires interpretation\, coordination\, and judgment across fragmented systems. This session explores how open data can evolve from static reporting to structured decision support. Using Brick\, a compliance tool that helps identify regulations\, as a case study\, we will examine entity resolution across BBL and BIN identifiers and the role of AI in translating public datasets into building-specific risk signals and guided action.

SUMMARY:How Maps Speak: Mapping Commons Hackathon
DESCRIPTION:A collaborative hackathon to build public mapping resources using NYC Open Data \nHow Maps Speak is a collaborative hackathon run by Parisa Setayesh and Shokran Rahiminezhad\, two PhD candidates at the CUNY Graduate Center\, focused on building a public teaching resource for mapping using NYC Open Data. Rather than centering on a single technical product\, this hackathon brings together participants from diverse disciplines to co-create beginner-friendly mapping tutorials\, examples\, and workflows that show how maps are used to communicate with communities. \nParticipants will contribute and comment on short\, structured materials\, such as annotated mapping examples\, tool-agnostic tutorials\, and community-facing workflows\, using NYC Open Data as a shared reference point. These contributions will form the foundation of Mapping Commons\, an open\, publicly accessible collection of mapping resources designed for non-experts. \nThe hackathon emphasizes collaboration\, reflection\, and public usefulness over competition or speed. No advanced technical or GIS experience is required. Learn more here and register below. \nThis hackathon is designed for an interdisciplinary audience\, including: \n\nStudents and researchers\nUrban planners\, designers\, and architects\nCommunity organizers and advocates\nEducators\, librarians\, and journalists\nData visualization practitioners

SUMMARY:Databook Update: Data Supporting Civil Service and Tech Procurement Reform
DESCRIPTION:WeGovNYC’s Databook (databook.nyc) is a data pipeline that indexes\, normalizes\, and republishes over 60 NYC Open Data datasets as a publicly accessible API and into an interface that offers in-depth profiles of City agencies\, public schools\, civil service titles\, contracts and much more. \nOur recent focus is providing tools for people interested in reforming civil service titles and technology procurement. We FOILed for civil service title descriptions\, extracted their data\, integrated it into Databook along with data visualizations at databook.nyc/titles. We also extracted all data from PassportPublic and Checkbook.NYC to create a new section in Databook connecting vendors\, solicitations\, agencies\, vendors and contracts at https://databook.nyc/procurement. \nWe will discuss all our tools as well as how we’ve adopted generative AI (vibe coding) to accelerate our development.
