Preliminary Conference Agenda - now available!

The preliminary conference agenda includes dates and times for major program highlights, including keynote presentations, invited speakers, Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions, lightning rounds, poolside welcome reception and this year's poster session and networking event.

Due to the overwhelming popularity from last year's VIVO conference, we are adding even more time for networking opportunities during the conference, including BOF sessions and lightning round presentations during the lunch breaks on Thursday and Friday. Bring your slides and be prepared to give a 5 minute talk on your topic of choice. This is a perfect opportunity to talk about preliminary results or an area of interest that complements the many themes presented during the scientific sessions and poster presentations at the conference. Sign-up sheets will be available at the registration desk.

A complete schedule of this year's conference program will be available soon, stay tuned to http://vivoweb.org/conference for more information!
