Stay longer to deepen your involvement at the optional Collaboration Fest. Local keynote speakers include Assoc Prof Roberto Barrero Gumiel from Queensland University of Technology, who will share how he uses Galaxy to enhance Australia’s plant biosecurity. Dr Carolyn Hogg from the University of Sydney is demonstrating how Galaxy contributes to her research in biodiversity conservation genomics of Australia's native animals. University of NSW structural biologist, Dr Kate Michie, will present insights into how she uses Alphafold in Galaxy. There is a wide diversity of talks, posters, and interactive sessions to choose from in the program.

Hello Galaxy Community, We are elated to share the schedule for the 2023 Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2023) in Brisbane, Australia! GCC2023 will consist of the main meeting, interactive training, and a collaboration fest (CoFest)<https://galaxyproject.org/events/gcc2023/cofest/>. The main meeting and the training are interleaved on the same days (July 10th*July 13th) with the CoFest following (July 14th*16th). Each day of the meeting, there will be three sessions, morning talks, mid-day training, and afternoon talks, with breaks and lunch in between. Training events will consist of five parallel tracks, each session being 2.5 hours long. More details for each of the trainings will be provided as we approach the conference. CoFest is a community gathering by the members who are interested in contributing to Galaxy's tool set, documentation, training materials, code base, and anywhere else that expands the Galaxy ecosystem. CoFest participants will coalesce around shared interests and address common topics related to those interests. These clusters form before, at the beginning of, and throughout CoFest and will be fluid and highly interactive with each other. To see a full outline of the GCC2023 schedule, a list of talks and accompanying abstracts, and an overview of our three fabulous keynote speakers, please visit the GCC2023 website<https://galaxyproject.org/events/gcc2023/schedule/>!
