We're excited to invite you to the 2015 VIVO implementation Fest (i-Fest) where it doesn't matter if you're a seasoned VIVO aficionado or someone who's just begun to learn about VIVO! There will be something of interest for everyone, and the i-Fest is a wonderful way to meet other people who are part of VIVO's open-source community. We're in the initial planning stages and have identified some exciting themes where you'll be able to learn things ranging from basic concepts about the VIVO-ISF ontology to making VIVO work with other applications. We're hoping that you can join us in Portland, Oregon so mark your calendars now!
