“Over the last several years, the City of New York has been promoting initiatives like Big Apps where the city opens it data to the public stimulating the creation of hundreds of new applications, platforms, and services that are pointing the way to a more open, accountable, and accessible government.
Come to an evening of demonstrations of some of the best of these new services along with a panel discussion with leaders from government and technology about the future of civic innovation in New York as a new administration takes office.
