GCC2014 https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014 will be held at the Homewood Campushttp://webapps.jhu.edu/jhuniverse/information_about_hopkins/campuses/homewood_campus/of Johns Hopkins University http://jhu.edu, in Baltimore, Marylandhttp://visitors.baltimorecity.gov/, United States, from June 30 through July 2, 2014. GCC2014https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014starts with a Training Day https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014/TrainingDay featuring four *five* parallel tracks, each with three, two and half hour long workshops. There are 13 different topics spanning the full Galactic spectrum of topics. Take a look!https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014/TrainingDay
*Early registration https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014/Register* is now open.

Registration is capped this year at 250 participants, *and we expect to hit that limit*. Registering early assures you a place at the conference and also a spot in the Training Day workshops you want to attend.
You can also book affordable conference housing at the same time you register. See the conference Logistics pagehttps://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014/Logisticsfor details on this and other housing options.
*Abstract submission https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014/Abstracts* for both oral presentations and posters is also open. Abstract submission for oral presentations closes April 4, while poster submission closes April 25. Poster authors will be notified of acceptance status within two weeks of submission, while presentation authors will be notified no later than May2. *Please consider presenting your work. If you are dealing with big biological data, then this meeting wants to hear about your work.*
The *GigaScience http://www.gigasciencejournal.com/* "Galaxy: Data Intensive and Reproducible Research" series announced for the last conference has published its first papershttp://www.gigasciencejournal.com/series/Galaxy, *and is continuing to take submissions for this year's meeting and beyond*.
