Love Data Week

Love Data Week is an annual event celebrating data. By highlighting data science and data art, Love Data Week draws international attention to the study of data. In 2025, Love Data Week will take place from February 10-14 and focus on the theme "Whose Data Is It Anyway?".

Love Data Week was created in 2016 to celebrate and discuss data in all its forms, from collection and analysis to sharing and visualization during the week of Valentine's Day.
