*Announcing the 2015 VIVO Implementation Fest*

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!

*Registration: There is no registration fee, but you will need to register
for the i-Fest. * Please use this link to register
<https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/3SRGFHL>. Registration is on a first come,
first served basis because the number of attendees that we can accommodate
is limited.

We're looking forward to seeing you,
The VIVO i-Fest Planning Group
