The annual meeting of the global Galaxy community is heading to Australia in July. As well as getting up close to koalas, GCC2023 offers a great chance to network with others who are passionate about data-intensive science. There will be opportunities to hear about the latest cutting-edge improvements to the platform, as well as learn how to apply its capabilities to specialized areas. These meetings are always a fun way to connect with Galaxy developers and share your thoughts, ideas, and vision for the future of Galaxy.
