Join us on Open Data Day 2024 for the relaunch of the DetroitData open data portal - the open data catalog for the Detroit community. Previous efforts in 2013-2016 were focused on filling a gap, but then open data proliferated. We’ve noticed again a drop off in the regular sharing and discovery of the available data. 

Come out and explore the DetroitData catalog, ask questions, and register. The open data portal intends to serve as an agnostic, neutral venue for community groups to share their local survey results, local media to share datasets acquired via FOIA request, and open up the opportunity for more Detroit-based people and organizations to influence the city’s data narrative. 

Open Data Day is an annual event that celebrates the benefits of open data and promotes its availability and use for solving real-world problems, this year is set to take place not in one day but during one week from Saturday, March 2nd to Friday, March 8th, 2024.
