  We are pleased to announce that early registration for the 2012 Galaxy Community Conference (GCC2012, http://galaxyproject.org/GCC2012) is now open. GCC2012 will be held July 25-27, at the UIC Forum, in Chicago, Illinois. The conference will feature two full days of presentations, discussions, lightning talks, and breakouts. We have also added a new full day of training this year, featuring 3 parallel tracks with four workshops each, covering seven to twelve different topics (please vote on topics by Friday May 18: http://bit.ly/GCC2012TDSurvey).

The Galaxy Community Conference is for:
* Sequencing core facility staff
* Bioinformatics core staff
* Bioinformatics tool and workflow developers
* Bioinformatics focused principal investigators and researchers
* Data producers
* Power bioinformatics users

This event is about integrating, analyzing, and sharing the diverse and very large datasets that are now typical in biomedical research. GCC2012 is an opportunity to share best practices with, and learn from, a large community of researchers and support staff who are facing the challenges of data-intensive biology. Galaxy is an open web-based platform for data intensive biomedical research (http://galaxyproject.org) that is widely used and deployed at research organizations of all sizes and around the world.

Registration is very affordable, especially for post-docs and students. You can can save 36% to 42% by registering on or before June 11.

Conference lodging can also be booked. Low-cost rooms have been reserved on the UIC campus. You can also stay at the official conference hotel, at a substantial discount. There are a limited rooms available in both, and you are encouraged to register early.

Thanks, and hope to see you in Chicago!
