What is Love Data Week?
Love Data Week is an international celebration of data, taking place every year during the week of Valentine’s Day. Originally coordinated by Heather Coates, International Love Data Week is a celebration of all things data that seeks to bring people together to share their experiences, learn best practices, and have some fun. The international effort is now hosted at the University of Michigan’s ICPSR, and many Big Ten institutions coordinate their own institutional celebrations. Member institutions of the Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA) will host events that bring together participants from across our institutions to discuss data-related themes.
Love Data Week 2027 will take place February 8–12, 2027.
