GCC2014 <https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014> will be held at the Homewood Campus<http://webapps.jhu.edu/jhuniverse/information_about_hopkins/campuses/homewood_campus/>of Johns Hopkins University <http://jhu.edu>, in Baltimore, Maryland<http://visitors.baltimorecity.gov/>, United States, from June 30 through July 2, 2014. GCC2014<https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014>starts with a Training Day <https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014/TrainingDay> featuring four *five* parallel tracks, each with three, two and half hour long workshops. There are 13 different topics spanning the full Galactic spectrum of topics. Take a look!<https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014/TrainingDay> *Early registration <https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014/Register>* is now open. Register early and *avoid paying 70% more for regular registration costs.* Early registration is very affordable, with combined registration (Training Day <https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Events/GCC2014/TrainingDay> + main meeting) starting at $140 for post-docs and students. Registration is capped this year at 250 participants, *and we expect to hit that limit*. Registering early assures you a place at the conference and also a spot in the Training Day workshops you want to attend. You can also book affordable conference housing at the same time you register.
