If you have never had a chance to hear Atul Butte from Stanford before, I highly reccomend his opening keynote as an unusual look at how new biomedical research practices are emerging in a world of shared data and also contract lab services.

I had the honor of doing the closing keynote for the conference; my talk covers some reflections on the conference and the key topics that emerged, and also the next round of emerging challenges for data curation.

The 2015 IDCC is planned to be held in London, England; the date is not yet set but I'll announce it here when it's settled, and CNI will once again look foward to  co-sponsoring this excellent meeting.
