  • Affiliated Groups

    The ISCB Affiliates program is designed to forge links between ISCB and regional non-profit membership groups, centers, institutes and networks that involve researchers from various institutions and/or organizations within a defined geographic region involved in the advancement of bioinformatics. Such groups have regular meetings either in person or online, and an organizing body in the form of a board of directors or steering committee. If you are interested in affiliating your regional membership group, center, institute or network with ISCB, please review these guidelines (.pdf) and send your exploratory questions to Diane E.

ACADEMIC RETREAT - An Affordable Opportunity


Plan an off-site retreat, bring your colleagues to Rocky and SAVE!

Rocky registration rates are among the most reasonable in computational biology, the conference hotel accommodations are $149.00 per night, single or double occupancy at a world class luxury hotel and resort. This makes for a very affordable retreat for groups.


Schools who have participated in the past combined the experience of attending Rocky for education and group activities on the slopes, at the hotel, and in Snowmass and Aspen Villages. Education and bonding were abundantly fun and memorable, and all left with a renewed sense of inspiration and collaboration. Rocky 2022 offers academic retreats* the following group package benefits (2 available):

  • One free student registration
  • One free hospitality suite upgrade ($200 minimum savings)
  • Two free ski lift tickets per group or $100 food & beverage credit at the conference hotel


Contact **This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.** for information or a customized package for your academic group today!

*Academic retreats are defined as a minimum of 10 or more paid Rocky conference attendees from the same school, staying in the conference hotel a minimum of two nights (single or double occupancy), and utilizing at least 5 sleeping rooms per night. All academic retreat offers noted above must be secured by November15, 2022.
