*GET READY for VIVO Camp in New Mexico*

The VIVO Project is pleased to announce that the first VIVO Camp will be
offered April 6-8 (Thursday-Saturday) at the University of New Mexico in
Albuquerque.

The two and a half day camp will begin with the basics and build toward
more advanced concepts–no prior VIVO experience is required. Participants
can expect to gain a broad understanding of all aspects of implementing
VIVO, including scoping and planning, development and data ingest, user
engagement and customizations coupled with multiple opportunities for
applying hands-on techniques working with experienced VIVO  gurus.

*Meet our VIVO experts*

Our faculty, who have experienced many successful VIVO implementations,
will be ready to meet and consult with participants. They will use their
expertise to offer attendees’ possible solutions for problems and barriers
to implementation–so please come prepared to discuss your specific issues.
Mike Conlon, VIVO Project Director points out, “VIVO Camp provides an ideal
environment for people considering VIVO and those new to VIVO to meet each
other, meet with experts in the VIVO community, and get up to speed
quickly.”

• Mike Conlon, VIVO Project Director and served as the principal
investigator at the University of Florida on the NIH grant to create the
VIVO community

• Graham Triggs, VIVO Technical Lead

• Violeta Ilik, Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine

• Paul Albert, Weill Cornell Medicine, and chair of the VIVO Implementation
Interest Group

• Julia Trimmer, Duke University. Julia manages the Scholars@Duke team and

The first day of camp will feature a broad overview of VIVO, including a
feature review, and the rationale behind why others have chosen to
implement VIVO at their institutions. Day two will be more hands-on, with
in-depth explanations of core and external services coupled with exercises.
Finally, the camp will finish with a discussion on future directions for
the project. Each day will include hands on exercises, and breakout
sessions for sharing ideas regarding VIVO and VIVO implementations.

An opportunity to register for VIVO Camp at a discounted rate is offered to
DuraSpace members. Space is limited–VIVO Camp has a cap of 30 people. *You
