About

Morning: Nextflow Training (Two Tracks, Running in Parallel)

Hello Nextflow — Beginner Track

This beginner-friendly session is perfect if you're new to Nextflow. You'll learn how to build simple multi-step workflows and run them from the command line, with guided hands-on exercises that cover workflow logic and language basics. You'll leave with the skills and resources to continue developing reproducible workflows on your own.

Advanced Nextflow Training — Experienced Track

Designed for those already familiar with Nextflow basics, this track dives into more advanced capabilities including testing, handling complex inputs, and composing modular workflows for scalable, production-ready pipelines.

What you'll get:

  • 4 hours of expert-led training
  • Certificate of attendance
  • Exclusive Seqera swag
  • Practical skills to launch or improve your bioinformatics workflows

Space is limited. A small registration fee applies to cover training costs. Select your preferred track during registration.

Afternoon: Seqera Sessions

Join us for a series of expert talks and live demos from leaders in bioinformatics. Discover how organizations are using Seqera to bridge the gap between wet lab scientists and computational teams, enabling researchers to build and validate scalable bioinformatics faster.
