To celebrate a decade of community, we’re doubling the fun! This year, School of Data will be a two day event:

Day 1: School of Data
The classic conference day with an amazing lineup of open data presentations, workshops, lightning talks, and panels.

Day 2: UnSchool of Data
For the first time ever, we’re hosting UnSchool of Data, an unconference where you set the agenda. Bring an idea, propose a session, and help shape the day’s agenda.

Interested in sponsoring the conference? We want to talk with you! Fill out our sponsor interest form. Your support enables us to produce a low-cost, healthy, and inclusive event. To discuss opportunities to support, please contact us at schoolofdata@beta.nyc. We appreciate your consideration.

Our Partners

2026 Sponsors

Reinvent Albany advocates for transparent and accountable New York government. We work to strengthen FOIL, put government information online, and are vocal advocates for open data laws and practices. We also advocate for more accountable and better-governed state authorities, including the MTA. We seek to create a state government that is responsible, responsive and above board and thus we fight for public integrity measures and against laws and practices that increase the risk of corruption and favor the few and well-connected over the public interest.
