The Galaxy Community Conference (GCC) https://gcc2017.sciencesconf.org/ brings together researchers working in and supporting data intensive life science research. There is no better place to share your work and learn from others that are addressing diverse questions and facing common challenges in data intensive biology. GCC participants work across the tree of life, around the world, and represent universities, research organizations, industry, medical schools and research hospitals.

GCC2017 will be in Montpellier, France, 26-30 June and features two days of presentations, discussions, poster sessions, lightning talks, computer demos, keynotes, and birds-of-a-feather meetups https://gcc2017.sched.com/overview/type/Conference, all about data-intensive biology and the tools that support it. GCC2017 also features data and coding hackathons https://gcc2017.sciencesconf.org/page/hackathon, and two days of training https://gcc2017.sched.com/overview/type/Training covering 16 different topics. GCC2017 will be held at Le Corum Conference Centre http://www.montpellier-events.com/en/The-Corum/Presentation in the heart of Montpellier https://gcc2017.sciencesconf.org/resource/page/id/2, just 10km from the Mediterranean.

Registration closes 16 June https://gcc2017.sciencesconf.org/page/registration. Costs start at 75€ per day for postdocs and students.
