Friends! We’re really excited to partner with the NYC Open Data Team and the Data Through Design collective to launch a unified platform to gather ideas for 2020. For our next community conference, we’re looking for transformative session proposals that will inspire our next decade of work using technology, data, and design for the public good.

While the NYC School of Data is oriented around data, it is rooted in improving our communities. This year, we are working harder than ever to make an inclusive conference. We encourage all groups & individuals who are using technology, data, and design to submit a session idea — wither it be a panel, workshop, class, talk, or project — stand up and represent!

The Boston Area Research Initiative is now accepting proposals for talks for its spring conference, The Smart, Equitable Commonwealth: Co-Creating the Society We Want, to be held on April 24th, 2020.

Click here to submit a proposal! Proposals are due by Friday, January 17th, 2020 at 11:59 PM. 

BARI’s annual conference is a unique forum for greater Boston’s civic data ecosystem—spanning the public sector, private sector, non-profits, community leaders, and academia—to explore how data and technology can be used to better understand and serve our communities. “Smart cities” should be about more than just efficiency and fancy new tools; it is about partnering across institutions and communities to collaboratively transform all of our cities and towns into the places we want them to be.
