The 2017 Galaxy Community Conference <https://gcc2017.sciencesconf.org/>
will bring together several hundred researchers working in and supporting
data intensive life science research. There is no better place to share
your work and learn from others that are addressing diverse questions and
facing common challenges in data intensive biology. GCC participants work
across the tree of life, come from around the world, and represent
universities, research organizations, industry, medical schools and
research hospitals.


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.


Abstract submission <https://gcc2017.sciencesconf.org/page/submit> is now
open.  If you work in or support data intensive life science research then
GCC2017 is an ideal opportunity to present your work. The deadline for oral
presentations is Apr 15 (23:59 Paris local time), and posters and computer
demonstration submission closes on May 27 (23:59 Paris local time). The
