They are a great way to meet other like-minded community members and have an in-depth discussion on a topic of shared interest.</p> <p><a href="https://www.iscb.org/cms_addon/conferences/ismbeccb2021/bof/">BoFs at ISMB/ECCB 2021</a> will take place each day of the meeting except the last day, at the same time as the poster session (not ideal, we know&ndash;but there are only so many viable hours in the day), from 15:20-16:20 UTC. We recommend that you choose either Thursday, July 29 (the first day of BOSC) or Wednesday, July 28 (the day before BOSC).</p> <p>Any ISMB/ECCB participant is welcome to propose a BoF! All you need is a topic, a leader, and a brief description. <strong>Submit your BoF proposal at <a href="https://www.iscb.org/cms_addon/conferences/ismbeccb2021/bof/">https://www.iscb.org/cms_addon/conferences/ismbeccb2021/bof/</a> no later than June 25.</strong></p> <p>If you&rsquo;re organizing a BOSC-related BoF, <a href="mailto:obf-bosc@googlegroups.com">let us know</a>! We&rsquo;ll list it on our website ( <a href="https://www.open-bio.org/events/bosc-2021/bosc-2021-schedule/">/events/bosc-2021/bosc-2021-schedule/</a>) and tweet about it!</p>
