The VITA Standards Organization (VSO) meets every two months to discuss, plan, and develop standards to support its members' interests. Observers are welcome. A meeting registration fee of $160 is charged for all in-person attendees. Non-members are welcome to attend (in-person or remotely) but a special registration code is required. Please email VITA with a request to attend as a non-member guest with some details on your areas of interest.
We are happy to announce that DRS will again be hosting our May 2025 meeting at their facility in Frederick, MD. We also have a greatly reduced hotel room block less than a mile from the DRS facility. See details below.
We have a maximum in-person attendance of 40 members so please register early! To assist with DRS security vetting, the in-person attendees registrations will be cut off on May 7. Virtual Attendees registrations will still be allowed after that date. Attendance by both US Citizens and Non-US persons is welcome.
