Galaxy Community Conference 2023

About the Event

Data scientists, software engineers and educators working in data-intensive science are invited to join the first-ever international Galaxy Community Conference (GCC) in Australia.

The GCC is an annual conference focused on the use and development of the Galaxy platform for data-intensive biomedical research. It brings together scientists, software developers and trainers of Galaxy from a variety of disciplines to share their experiences, knowledge and skills.

At the conference, there will be opportunities to:

• learn about data analysis and methods
• disseminate your software to thousands of users
• present in-gross work and get feedback from the community
• attend a variety of training sessions on topics ranging from data analysis to systems administration
• connect with a friendly group of researchers, developers and educators from around the world.

Format

The first 4 days of the conference will feature:

• accepted and invited talks
• poster, demo or sponsor sessions
• training
• Birds of a Feather sessions.

These will be followed by a 3-day CollaborationFest (CoFest), where software engineers, bioinformaticians, students, researchers and trainers can collaborate on and extend open-source bioinformatics tools, ecosystems and communities.
