Syracuse Open Data Day
Come join the City of Syracuse for our 1st Open Data Day where you learn about what information the City of Syracuse puts on the Open Data Portal, participate in breakout sessions to learn industry standard tools to access and visualize open data, and create your own project to compete against others to win prizes.
Sign up below. It's free, it's fun, and you will have food! The event is on Saturday November 4th from 10:00am - 4:30pm, and attendees are free to any or all of the sessions.
The contest will be a month long data challenge, where the featured focus area will be released in the beginning of October. The project pitches and judging will happen in the afternoon of November 4th.

Who can participate
Anyone with an interest in open data for the public good can take part of the Civic Data Challenge. Since the event is in person, the teams have to have at least one person present in person at the Open Data Day event.
The Data Challenge Focus Area
Instead of being a focus on a specific dataset, as we did during the Syracuse Data Challenge events, this will be a a challenge based on a specific focus area. This will be announced on Monday October 2nd, 2023, and will be a broad focus area such as Transportation, Public Safety, Housing, or something else.
These data projects have to use at least one dataset from Open Data Syracuse, but are welcome to use additional data sources.
