The 2020 Bioinformatics Community Conference (BCC2020) will be online, global, affordable, and accessible to all.
Key Dates: May 8: Deadline for submitting talk/poster abstracts (this will not be extended) June 6: Authors notified about talk/poster acceptance July 10: Early registration ends July 17-19: BCC2020 tutorials July 19-22: BCC2020 main meeting July 22-24, 24-26: CollaborationFest Core and Encore
BCC2020 -> https://bcc2020.github.io/ BCC2020 is a joint event bringing together the BOSC and Galaxy Communities. If you are working in data intensive life science research then there will be no better event this year to share your work, and to learn from others. BCC2020 will be held July 17-26, and offer 2 days of training, a 3 day meeting, and a 4 day CollaborationFest.
BCC2020 is Online -> https://bcc2020.github.io/blog/going-virtual All BCC2020 events will be held online. Training will be live and interactive. The meeting will feature keynotes, accepted talks, lightning talks, posters, demos, and birds-of-a-feather and other networking opportunities. Talks (with the possible exception of keynotes) will be pre-recorded. Posters, demos, and BoFs will be live and interactive. The CoFest will also be live and interactive.
BCC2020 is Global -> https://bcc2020.github.io/blog/going-global BCC2020 events will be held twice: once in the originally scheduled Toronto time zone (BCC West), and then again 12 hours later in the Eastern hemisphere (BCC East). Training will differ between East and West, with enrollment open to all, regardless of where you are. The main conference content will be presented in both East and West. We are striving to have the CoFest run continuously, with participants from every part of the world.
BCC2020 is Affordable -> https://bcc2020.github.io/Registration/ We have slashed registration rates for BCC2020, and are offering even larger discounts to participants based in low and lower-middle income countries. Pricing starts at US$3 per training session, and $12 for the 3 day meeting. The CoFest is free.
BCC2020 is Accessible Going online and global, combined with the low registration rates make this the most accessible Galaxy and BOSC conference ever. If you work in open source bioinformatics then this is 2020’s best opportunity to share your work and learn from others.
Abstracts Due May 8 -> https://bcc2020.github.io/submit/ BCC2020 is seeking oral presentations, lightning talks, posters, and demos, from researchers working in bioinformatics, and from all over the world. Abstracts are due May 8 (and that deadline will not be extended). Please submit your work today.
