VIVO Conference breaks its glass ceiling! Where are the women speakers leading our thinking in VIVO, linked open data, research, identifiers, and scholarly profiles? Well, at the VIVO Conference, of course. For the first time, both our keynotes are women – Christina Patuelli, School of Information at Pratt Institute, and Jodi Schneider, School of Information Science at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, will give keynotes to begin our days Thursday and Friday. We have five invited speakers and three of them are women – Rebecca Bryant, OCLC Research, Katie Frey, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, and Ying Ding, School of Information Sciences and Computing, Indiana University will be joined by David Eichmann, University of Iowa, and Jim Hendler, Cognitive Science Department, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. What a line-up! You can see all the speakers at http://vivoconference.org
Have ideas regarding speakers for next year's conference? Share your ideas with any of the VIVO 2017 Conference Planning Task Force members.
But wait, there's more:
- Late breaking submissions for posters and demos (new this year) can be submitted here through June 12. There are some many people doing excellent work all over the VIVO Community. This is an opportunity to share. Details here https://goo.gl/jQzNqU
- The program is now available on-line. We won't have a program book this year. We are saving a few dollars, and quite a few trees. Everything is on-line here http://vivoconference.org/schedule/. Hope you like the new approach and the ease of on-line access for the program.
- Registration is open. All are welcome. Register here: http://vivoconference.org
