Promotional banner for the Galaxy Community Conference 2026 (GCC2026). The design features a purple gradient background with the Galaxy logo at the top. On the left is an illustrated scene of Clermont-Ferrand, France, including buildings, a cathedral, a volcano, and a hot air balloon. Text reads: “Help support global, open science… Become a Sponsor for GCC2026!” Event details are listed: “Clermont-Ferrand, France, June 22–24, 2026,” followed by “Followed by CoFest: June 25–26, 2026.” A short bullet list highlights “Global audience,” “Real scientific impact,” and “High community engagement.” A QR code appears on the right with an arrow and the text “Learn more!” pointing toward it.
The Galaxy Community Conference 2026 is coming to Clermont-Ferrand, France, and we are still welcoming sponsors!
•Reach an international scientific community
•Support real scientific impact
•Engage with a highly active, collaborative network
