discussions, poster sessions, lightning talks and birds-of-a-feather, *all
about data-intensive biology and the tools that support it*.  GCC2014 also
includes a Training
Day<https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014/TrainingDay> with
five concurrent tracks and in-depth coverage of thirteen different topics.

GCC2014 <http://galaxyproject.org/GCC2014> will be held at the Homewood

Galaxy <http://galaxyproject.org> is an easily extensible data integration
and analysis platform for life sciences research that supports hundreds of
bioinformatics analysis tools. Galaxy is open-source and can be locally
installed or run on the cloud.  There are hundreds of local installs, and over
50 publicly accessible
servers<http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/PublicGalaxyServers>around the
world.

*Early registration
