Hello Galaxy Community, This is a reminder to mark your calendars for the 2026 Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2026)! 📅 June 22–24, 2026 📍 Clermont-Ferrand, France GCC2026 will bring the Galaxy community together for three days of scientific talks, hands-on training, posters, and opportunities to connect with researchers, developers, trainers, and open-science practitioners from around the world. Whether you’re new to Galaxy or a long-time contributor, GCC is a chance to learn, share your work, and help shape the future of the platform. Following the main conference, we’ll also host CoFest on June 25–26, a collaborative, hands-on event where participants come together to build, improve, document, and extend Galaxy tools, workflows, and training materials. We’ll be sharing more details soon, including calls for abstracts and registration. For now, we invite you to save the date and start planning to join us in 2026. Learn more and stay up to date on the GCC2026 website<https://galaxyproject.org/events/gcc2026/>. We hope to see you in Clermont-Ferrand! Best regards, The GCC2026 Organising Committee
