iEvoBio (Informatics for Phylogenetics, Evolution and Biodiversity) was held jointly with the Evolution Meetings as a satellite conference, with the aim of providing a forum that brings together biologists working in evolution, systematics, and biodiversity, with software developers, and mathematicians, both to catalyse the development of new tools, and to increase awareness of the possibilities offered by existing technologies (from reusable software to mega-scale data analysis to rich visualization).

The meeting featured contributed talks and two keynote presentations, as well as more dynamic elements, including a challenge, lightning talk-style sessions, a software bazaar, and Birds-of-a-Feather gatherings. iEvoBio was supported by the National Evolutionary Synthesis Center (NESCent), and the Society of Systematic Biologists (SSB).
