What is the NYC Open Data Meetup Group?

NYC Open Data Meetup group is devoted to Make Open Data Useful. It started out in 2013 as a meet-up group bringing together people from three worlds: Technology, Government, Design.

What is the Goal of the Group?

The goal of the group is to use big data technology and visualization to tell stories about the public open data. We run frequent workshops and talks as a Data Science School and use NYC open data as our first choice. Find us at NYC Open Data Meetup Group.

This site is the main website for NYC Open Data Meetup group. All workshop material will be made available here.

Our data driven mayor and his followers have opened up 1100+ data sets. Take a quick look of Socrata Platform...also take a look at our sister group NYC Data Science Academy Meetup Group: Our sister group offers classes in series of five or more sessions, in the form of 3 hours of teaching and one hour of hands-on work with TAs on popular topics taught by proven instructors from the NYC Open Data Meetup.
