The Second Bionfinity Project Annual Workshop will be held on October 1-2, directly following TDWG'2010, at Speck Lecture Hall. We will be discussing how to use our next-generation Biofinity tools and how they can be adapted to improve bioinformatics research.

On Friday, starting at 2:00 p.m., we will present two Biofinity use cases with live demos on biological research data curation, analysis, and discovery. These presentations will be followed by a discussion forum to discuss additional Biofinity features and address potential user needs. We hope to have a lively discussion and obtain insightful feedback from the partipants. To conclude the first day, we will host a dinner and a mixer.

On Saturday, starting at 8:00 with breakfast, we will give two tutorials and demos on how to set up lab accounts on Biofinity and use Biofinity for a variety of data analysis tasks. To conclude the second day, we will host a lunch.

The workshop is free of charge and all means and meals and refreshments will be provided.
