Hi <!channel>! Registration is now live for our next major nf-core hackathon! nf core bounce 🚀 Join us in Barcelona on Oct 28-29! 🇪🇸 As previously, we're doing two parallel tracks: one with Nextflow Training and one for the nf-core Hackathon. There will also be some of our trademark (amazing) socials, and you'll get to meet all of your favourite Slack people IRL 🤗 One aspect that is new this year is that the Summit itself (the talks) will be online / virtual. I mentioned this above, but we're hoping that this will make both the presenters and audience wider and more inclusive. There will still be poster presentations though, with posters both online and in person at the hackathon / training. 🎟️ Early bird tickets are 25% off through Aug 15. https://hubs.la/Q03xggJF0 The space we've booked is limited and in the past we have sold out ahead of the registration deadline (especially the training), so it's definitely worth getting in early.. Most hackathons have around 2/3rds of people there for their first nf-core event, so don't be put off if you're new. They're a great way to get stuck in and involved, and carve out a chunk of time to make some progress with your favourite pipeline (or even find a new favourite pipeline!) Hope to see many of you there 🙌🏻 nf core party

⭐ Want to present on the Nextflow Summit 2025? ⭐ 🎤 The call for speakers and posters is now open! Submit your abstract here: https://hubs.la/Q03ygcxC0

Hey! Just wondering if there’s a word or character limit for the abstract submission for the poster call and if there are any formatting guidelines we should follow. Thanks!

Hi, @Ugo Iannacchero. No, there are no character limits 😉

Perfect! Thanks :)

Please try to keep your titles not-too-long through. Talks will go up on YouTube afterwards, and we'll need to fit your name + talk title into 100 characters.. 🙏🏻

Hey, it’s me again, sorry to bother, I just had a quick question about abstract submissions for the Summit. 1. If our abstract gets accepted for a talk, we’d like to present as two speakers. Is that possible? I noticed the submission form only lets me enter details for one speaker. 2. If I submit to the Call for Abstracts for the Virtual Summit and it’s not accepted as a talk, can it still be considered for the poster session, or would I need to submit a separate application? Thanks a lot!

🚨 Heads up — tomorrow is the last day for 25% off Nextflow Training & the nf-core Hackathon! Join us in Barcelona this October for two days of hands-on learning, problem solving, and collaboration. 📘 Nextflow Training Advanced track = sold out! — but limited seats still remain for the beginner track (or you can join the advanced waitlist). 🧬 nf-core Hackathon Work side-by-side with nf-core contributors, Nextflow devs, and bioinformatics engineers to level up the tools & pipelines powering innovation. ⏳ Spots are filling quickly! Don’t miss out: 👉 Learn more and register here: https://hubs.la/Q03xtYyX0 Oh — and if you’ve got an amazing research story or workflow win, tomorrow is also the deadline to submit your talk or poster for virtual Nextflow Summit! 👉 Submit your abstract: https://hubs.la/Q03CQ5rc0

@Ugo Iannacchero just checking for you. I'm told that for (1) then yes, "_There’s a field to add additional presenters/authors. So yes, we can have two people present."_ For (2) we'll try to clarify that for you and get back to you.

@Phil Ewels Thanks for checking! About (1), I might be missing something then I can’t seem to find the field to add an additional presenter. Also once I submit in the “Speakers” section of my submission it still shows “(not set)” for both slots, and I don’t see any option to edit or add another one. I tried both on Mozilla Firefox and on Chrome, so maybe it’s a display issue or I’m overlooking something.

Hi @Ugo Iannacchero! You can use the "Co-Author" field to add an additional presenter. Just enter their first & last name & if the submission is accepted, we will follow up to collect additional biographical info. As for the Speakers section, I've recorded a quick video to show how to access an in-progress submission to edit. Apologies that this isn't the most intuitive dropdown in the in the history of dropdowns shakefist. We will leave the submission deadline open until next Friday, August 22, so you can finish your abstract next week. Let me know if you have any other questions!

Thanks a lot for clarifying! I realise it was my misunderstanding I thought the “Co-Author” field was meant for listing everyone involved in the abstract (as is usually the case), but in this talk submission context it should only include the person who would co-present with me. Thanks again for the help, and the video was super helpful!
