Vista Expo and Symposium

WELCOME!

VISTA Expo and Symposium is an annual conference for VISTA vendors, customers, developers, instructors, and students. Just like last year, conference lodgings and events are all under one roof, but this year, that roof is conveniently close to Seattle-Tacoma International Airport. Join us for four days of insightful, thought-provoking discussion about VISTA and its future.

We have just received confirmation from our second Keynote speaker!

Dr. Howard Hays is the Director of the Office of Information Technology for Indian Health Service (IHS), a major non-VA adopter of VISTA. Dr. Hays will discuss IHS’s version of VISTA, called RPMS; some of the improvements and advances his team has made over the past few years; and some of the challenges they faced being “downstream” from VA.

The conference is beginning to take shape! Why not reserve your space now?

Announcing the 2012 VISTA Expo and Symposium!

This year’s VISTA Expo and Symposium will be held September 11-14 at the Seattle Airport Marriott. Specific details, including programming tracks and keynote speakers, are still to be determined; however, we do have some preliminary pricing information.

Full event memberships will be $495, the same price as last year. This year, however, we will be offering a pre-registration discount rate of $395 for anyone who signs up before July 4, 2012. The hotel is offering its Government rate of $137 (plus applicable taxes) to all attendees, and, as with last year, the price includes in-room high-speed wireless Internet access.

Although the facility is different from last year’s, we are working with many of the same excellent Marriott staff to give our attendees a comparable experience. Convention registration will be available on our website soon, and we will link to hotel reservations when the hotel is ready to accept them.

Further details will be announced as our plans become finalized. We hope to see you in September!
