GCC2022 features separate Training Day, Meeting, and CoFest events, which can be registered for separately or all at once.

Registration

Registration for GCC2022 is closed. But check back in early 2023 for GCC2023!

Training Day, July 8

This pre-conference event is virtual, asynchronous, global, and free. The GCC2022 Training Day will focus on introductory topics, many of which are prerequisites for training that is being offered in-person, during the meeting. We recommend you look at the training offerings for Training Day, and during the conference when deciding if you should register for training day.

Cost: Free, for as long as there is space

Meeting, July 17-20

This is it! Our first in-person GCC since 2019. The four day meeting will feature accepted and invited talks, poster, demo, and sponsor sessions, training sessions, Birds-of-a-Feather (BoF) sessions, a conference dinner, and lots of time for networking.

In-person meeting registration includes admission to conference talks, poster/demo sessions, and all training during the conference. We strongly recommend that you decide on which training you want to take before you start your meeting registration process.

Based on popular demand, there is also a Webinar mode option for attendance. After registering for this option, you will get access to the live stream of the main meeting talks. You will also get invited to the conference Slack where you will have an opportunity to ask any questions of the presenters or poster authors. Note that in-person training events or CoFest will not be streamed. Also note that all speakers are required to attend in person.

If you are currently working in a low-income country, as defined by the World Bank, please email Jenn Vessio before registering and ask for a discount code that you can apply during registration.

CoFest, July 21-23

You can register for 1, 2, or 3 days of CoFest. The registration cost is used to cover the costs of food and drinks during the event.

Cost: $9 per day
