A critical goal of VDS is to engage and inspire the world at large. To do this, it is critical to expose VDS to as many people as possible. To do this, we organize a series of public events throughout the year to share our work. Sometimes these events will feature the work of our teams, sometimes our efforts to develop our collaboration interface, and at times they may just be a celebration of life, the universe and everything -- so be alert and enjoy. As events are scheduled, they will be listed here. If you are particularly interested in hearing about a specific topic, you can cast your vote below and with just a bit of luck we should be able to respond to such requests. While most of our events will occur in Cambridge, MA be sure to check carefully as VDS teams are located on six of the seven continents and so place matters!
