NYC Open Data Week 2027 is a two-week, community-driven festival about public data and its uses in New York City. It runs from March 27 to April 11, with events across the five boroughs and online. The festival marks the anniversary of the city’s first open data law, signed on March 7, 2012, and aims to help New Yorkers learn about and engage with municipal data.1
The program is organized by the Office of Data Strategy at the NYC Office of Technology and Innovation, civic organization BetaNYC, and Data Through Design, an annual exhibition of creative work using NYC Open Data.1 The 2027 festival begins with the opening of Data Through Design’s exhibition. Its schedule is expected to include dozens of virtual and in-person events, among them NYC School of Data, a day-long, in-person conference hosted by BetaNYC.1
The event is intended for New York’s civic-tech and open-data communities, as well as people seeking to learn more about city data; the organizers describe the festival as an opportunity to bring more people into that work.1 The 2027 program is still being assembled: proposals are due by December 6, 2026, and events may be in person, virtual, or hybrid.12 The available sources describe the festival’s purpose and format but do not yet provide a finalized schedule or a specific list of 2027 topics.12
