Hello all,

This is just a reminder that* there are some key deadlines this Friday, May 20:*

- Early registration ends https://gcc2016.iu.edu/registration/index.php. After Friday registration rates go up by over 40%. - Poster abstracts https://gcc2016.iu.edu/abstracts/index.php are due.

- Demo abstracts https://gcc2016.iu.edu/abstracts/index.php are due. These are new this year and can complement a poster abstract or stand on their own.

If you are wondering what's happening at GCC2016, the training and conference schedules https://gcc16.sched.org/ are now online, featuring 21 accepted talks https://gcc16.sched.org/overview/type/Conference and 31 training sessions https://gcc16.sched.org/overview/type/Training+%E2%80%94+Any.

And, thanks to Jetstream http://jetstream-cloud.org/ IU's newest National Science Foundation-funded project (and in which Galaxy is a partner), and the National Center for Genome Analysis Support http://ncgas.org/ at IU are sponsoring an opening reception on Monday evening http://sched.co/72bN at the IU Cyberinfrastructure Building. The first ever GCC opening reception will feature local wine/beer, morsels from local eateries, and demonstrations of the 15 million+ pixel IQ-Wall, IU's Data Center, Science on a Sphere, and other IU-centric IT.

Hope to see you there,

Dave C
