Nextflow SUMMIT 2026

The summit is virtual; the associated training and nf-core hackathon are listed at Hotel SB Glow in Barcelona.

The organizer lists pharma and biotech, as well as research and academia, as audience categories.

It is most useful for bioinformaticians and computational biologists in pharma, biotech and academia who build pipelines with Nextflow, since the roster lists more than thirty speakers and the organizer, Seqera, is the company behind the tool. The listing also mentions a virtual option and a Barcelona training and nf-core hackathon, so those who cannot travel can still take part; people outside data-heavy life science work would find the content too specialised.

Attendees at bioinformatics and developer-oriented conferences usually wear casual or smart casual clothes, such as jeans or chinos with a t-shirt or casual shirt. Boston in mid-October is cool, so a jacket or sweater is sensible.
