The Eyeo Festival is a yearly conference for artists who work with data and code. It takes place in Minneapolis. The conference began in 2011, and has taken place yearly since then, typically at the Walker Art Center. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event was put on pause for 2020 and 2021. Eyeo returned to Minneapolis in 2022, but was later put back on hiatus for 2023. There have been no updates on if/when Eyeo will be return.
