*About GCC2017:*

GCC2017 will be in Montpellier, France, 26-30 June and will feature two days of presentations, discussions, poster sessions, lightning talks, computer demos, keynotes, and birds-of-a-feather meetups, all about data-intensive biology and the tools that support it. GCC2017 also includes 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/page/location, just 10km from the Mediterranean. This event will gather several hundred researchers addressing diverse questions and facing common challenges in data intensive life science research. GCC participants work across the tree of life, come from around the world, and work at universities, research organizations, industry, medical schools and research hospitals. If you work in or support data intensive life science research then GCC2017 is an ideal opportunity to present your work.

Early registration https://gcc2017.sciencesconf.org/page/registration is starts at less than 55€ / day for post-docs and students. You can also book low cost conference housing https://gcc2017.sciencesconf.org/page/lodging when you register.
