Nextflow Summit 2026¶
Transcripts and digests from the Nextflow Summit (April 30 – May 1, 2026), held in person and live-streamed via Goldcast. Three sessions captured, two days, ~25 talks across keynotes, scientific applications, enterprise architecture, and an AI panel.
Caveat: Transcripts are auto-generated English captions on the live stream. Misheard names and technical terms are common — for example, "Vicksville" appears throughout in place of "Nextflow," and "Seqera" is variously transcribed as "Sigara / secura / Sequeira / Securitas." Use search for exact quotes; treat speaker names as best-effort inferences until confirmed.
