The 2013 Galaxy Community Conference will start with a Training Day on 30 June, followed by two full days of accepted talks, keynotes, lightning talks, poster sessions, birds-of-a-feather sessions, and networking time.
As in past years, talks will cover a wide range of biology, bioinformatics, and informatics. However, unlike in previous years, talks will be grouped and scheduled in sessions focusing on particular topics.
Program
Day 0: Training Day, 30 June
The GCC2013 Training Day will be Sunday, 30 June, and feature fourfive parallel tracks, each with three workshops, each of which are two hours long, for a total of twelvefifteen sessions on twelve different topics. Sessions are evenly split between topics aimed at biological research, topics aimed at Galaxy deployers and developers, and those that are geared twoards both audiences. The topics were nominated and selected by the Galaxy Community in early 2013. The increased number of parallel tracks and topics was driven by unexpected demand.
Workshops will be hands-on and participants will be strongly encouraged to bring a laptop and follow along.

Escape (to the) Pub!
The Escape Pub, in the Ole Johan Dahls House (the conference venue), has been reserved on Sunday and Monday evening until 21:00. It's normally a student pub, and has what are quite possibly the least expensive beverages in Oslo. If you are looking for a place to relax (or a particularly convivial evening Birds of a Feather session), then please do drop in.
Day 1: Main Meeting, 1 July
The first day of the conference will feature accepted talks and posters with a biology and bioinformatics emphasis. The first day will include a lightning talk session.
Day 1: Using Galaxy for genomics research

Birds of a Feather (BoF) Gatherings
There is no better place than a Galaxy Community Conference to meet and learn from others doing high-throughput biology. GCC2013 will include Birds of a Feather (BoF) meetups throught the event. Birds of a Feather meetups are informal gatherings where participants group together based on common interests. BoFs can range from preplanned and pre-announced to just pre-announced to completely spontaneous. Pre-announcing a BoF has the advantage that conference participants can be notified of them ahead of time, and people can plan ahead to attend.
If you have an idea for a BoF, then you are strongly encouraged to start one.
