Hello all,

*Early registration https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/AdminTraining2016/Registration for Galaxy Admin Training 2016 https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/AdminTraining2016 ends in one week, on Monday, September 19.*

Galaxy Admin Training 2016 https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/AdminTraining2016 is a weeklong event offering basic and advanced sessions. It will be held in Salt Lake City, Utah, November 7-11, 2016, the week before Supercomputing 16 (SC16) http://sc16.supercomputing.org/ meets in Salt Lake. These workshops are aimed at admins from organizations and labs that are installing, upgrading, or prototyping Galaxy instances.

*Basics Session: November 7-8* https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/AdminTraining2016/BasicsSession

This two day basics session https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/AdminTraining2016/BasicsSession will introduce participants to what you need to know to get a Galaxy server up and running on a standalone server. You'll also learn how to extend your Galaxy with your own tools and tools from the community, and how to define reference data in your server.

*Advanced Session: November 9-11* https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/AdminTraining2016/AdvancedSession

The three day advanced session https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/AdminTraining2016/AdvancedSession will build on topics covered in the basics section https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/AdminTraining2016/BasicsSession. This session both extends those topics, such as tool definition, and adds new ones, such as working with compute clusters and heterogeneous resources. The goal of the advanced workshop is to enable Galaxy administrators to create robust, high-performance Galaxy instances that take full advantage of available tools and compute and storage resources.

Galaxy Admin Training 2016 is hosted by the University of Utah Center for High Performance Computing (CHPC) http://www.chpc.utah.edu/, the USTAR Center for Genetic Discovery (UCGD) http://ucgd.genetics.utah.edu/, Department of Biomedical Informatics http://medicine.utah.edu/dbmi/ and the Clinical & Translational Science Biomedical Informatics Core (CCTS BMIC) http://medicine.utah.edu/ccts/bmic/ at the University of Utah http://utah.edu/.

We hope to see you in Salt Lake!
