NYC School of Data – Mar 5 2016
The New York City School of Data is a collaborative network improving the City’s data ecosystem. This network seeks to enrich our lives and communities through technology, data, & design. This year, we invite civic hackers and community based organizations to learn from each other and share how we can improve our communities and our data.
This year’s School of Data conference is a day-long showcase of New York City’s open data ecosystem, innovative users, and a showcase of civic technology. Additionally, we have breakout rooms for you to collaborate on some of NYC’s most pressing open data issues—including a data jam to address economic justice jam.
