Training | Nextflow Summit 2026

Nextflow Training Boston 2026

This year’s training offers two tailored tracks to meet you where you are: a Beginner Track for those new to Nextflow, and an Advanced Track for experienced users ready to level up. Whether you're just getting started or looking to build more scalable, production-ready pipelines, there's a session designed for you.

Beginner Track

Limited spots available
Who It's For

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.

Academic: $100 $75
Corporate: $200 $150

Beginner Training Overview

This training workshop is intended as a “getting started” course for students and early-career researchers who are completely new to Nextflow. It aims to equip participants with foundational knowledge and skills in three key areas: (1) understanding the logic of how data analysis workflows are constructed, (2) Nextflow language proficiency and (3) command-line interface (CLI) execution.

Additionally, participants will learn to leverage the resources and capabilities offered by the nf-core initiative and the Seqera platform.

  • Audience: Beginners (no prior Nextflow experience).
  • Required: a GitHub account and basic experience with command line and scripting. Some bioinformatics concepts will be introduced.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be well-prepared for tackling the next steps in their journey to develop and apply reproducible workflows for their scientific computing needs. Additional study-at-home materials will be provided for them to continue learning and developing their skills further.

Advanced Track

Limited spots available
Who It's For

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.

Academic: $100 $75
Corporate: $200 $150

advanced track
Advanced Training Overview

This advanced training workshop is designed for researchers and developers who already have a basic understanding of Nextflow and are ready to deepen their skills. The course focuses on best practices for building production-ready pipelines, with hands-on experience in workflow testing, modular design, resource optimization, and complex input handling.

Participants will also learn how to integrate with the nf-core framework to support collaborative development and streamline deployment in real-world research environments.

  • Audience: Intermediate to advanced users with basic familiarity of Nextflow.
  • Required: Prior experience writing and running basic Nextflow workflows.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be equipped to confidently design, test, and manage robust workflows that scale across compute environments.

Participants will also learn how to integrate with the nf-core framework to scale workflows across infrastructure and to your teams in real-world research environments.
