The second annual NCRI Informatics-caBIG™ conference took place on the 2nd and 3rd of September 2008 at the Hyatt Regency in Bethesda, Maryland. The aim of the conference was to initiate discussion centred on the theme “Biomedical Informatics without Borders: Enabling Collaboration to Strengthen Research and Care”. This theme was explored through a range of talks, a panel discussion, breakout sessions, poster presentations and technology demonstrations giving delegates from across the globe the opportunity to examine the technical, scientific, social and legal issues associated with achieving the seamless sharing of information that is required for effective collaboration.
