The VIVO User Group Meeting brings together VIVO thought leaders and practitioners to discuss VIVO futures. The group will create recommendations for the future of VIVO. The meeting should reinforce the purpose of VIVO, foster communication, make progress on fundamental issues, and address strategy.
The meeting is not a hackathon, a conference, nor an implementation fest. A preliminary agenda has been developed (see below), but topics are expected to change, and breakouts developed by the attendees during the meeting
