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, and two days of training covering 16 different topics.
GCC2017 will be held at Le Corum Conference Centre in the heart of Montpellier, 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 is starts at less than 55€ / day for post-docs and students. You can also book low cost conference housing when you register.
GCC2017 has sold out all premiere sponsorship slots (a first). If you are interested in sponsoring (or know someone who is) there are still Silver and Bronze and Hackathon sponsorships available. Contact the organisers if you are interested.
