BoFs: Birds of a Feather

BoFs are a great opportunity to gather with other Galaxy community members around shared topics, ideas, questions, or challenges. If there is something you would like to discuss with others during the conference, we encourage you to submit a BoF idea.

These moments of discussions on a specific topic will be held Monday 22nd from 5 to 6pm and Wednesday 24th from 5:15 to 6:30pm.

The sessions can be structured in whatever way works best for the topic, whether that includes short presentations, a guided discussion, or an open conversation. We just ask that sessions be designed to encourage participation and discussion among attendees.

Please note that BoFs are intended for in-person participation and unfortunately virtual attendees cannot be accommodated.

The deadline to submit is June 15, 2026, but earlier submissions are encouraged so we can begin planning the schedule.
