Program
iEvoBio features several traditional elements, including a keynote presentation at the beginning of each day and contributed full talks in the morning, as well as more dynamic and interactive elements, including a challenge, lightning talk-style sessions, a software bazaar, and Birds-of-a-Feather gatherings. The detailed program schedule is available below.

The Call for Lighning Talks has filled up, and new submissions can at most be wait-listed. Software Bazaar submissions are still being accepted until the first day of the conference. Birds-of-a-feather gathering proposals are now being solicited, and are recommended to be broadcast on Twitter using the #ievobioBof hashtag. The Call for Abstracts for Full Talks closed on April 16, and the accepted talks are published below.
iEvoBio and its sponsors are dedicated to promoting the practice and philosophy of Open Source software development and reuse within the research community. For this reason, if a submitted talk concerns a specific software system for use by the research community, that software must be licensed with a recognized Open Source License, and be available for download, including source code, by a tar/zip file accessed through ftp/http or through a widely used version control system like cvs, Subversion, git, Bazaar, or Mercurial.

Full Program Schedule
Late-breaking program updates are still possible and hence the schedule may still change. The program lists the presenting author, which is not necessarily the lead or only author. The abstracts of all full and lightning talk presentations are preliminarily being made available on the manuscript submission system. They will eventually be deposited for permanent archiving in a designated Nature Precedings collection.
