 The event was co-organised by &lt;a href=&quot;https://nanoporetech.com/&quot;&gt;Oxford Nanopore Technologies&lt;/a&gt; and we enjoyed it so much that we intend to host many more in the future.
 Look out for upcoming announcements if you want to get involved!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The event was also co-hosted by Professor Dr. Susanne Gerber from the Computational Systems Genomics Group at the Institute of Human Genetics, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.unimedizin-mainz.de/index.html&quot;&gt;University Medical Center Mainz&lt;/a&gt;, who contributed her fantastic expertise in the analysis of Oxford Nanopore RNA sequencing data.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;During the event, co-organizers Stefan Pastore and Andre Holzer also did an excellent job of keeping everyone engaged, informed and on-mission. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The themes of the event were building high quality bioinformatics workflows, integration into EPI2ME and unleashing real-time long-read analytics.
 We gathered scientists from around Europe and as far as the USA to talk bioinformatics, dashboards, Nextflow and more over the course of a week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 id=&quot;preparing-the-canvas&quot;&gt;Preparing the canvas&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Before the co-organisers had the opportunity to introduce their work, and prior to any teams being formed, we — the attending members of the EPI2ME team and other members from ONT — presented on a range of topics, focussing on sharing information about our process and best practices for authoring workflows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Firstly there were general introductions to Nanopore sequencing and analysis solutions, and afterwards we elaborated on the EPI2ME software universe, describing all our workflows, our Desktop Application and the scalability of the out-of-the-box workflows we equip our customers with.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Then we moved onto workflow development, highlighting key considerations when writing a workflow, as well as a description of how to integrate workflows into EPI2ME with the least effort possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We also provided an insight into &lt;a href=&quot;https://github.com/epi2me-labs/wf-template&quot;&gt;wf-template&lt;/a&gt;, our entry point to best practice workflow development, and how this can be used in the context of the Hackathon to speed up efforts!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Things only got more technical as the morning went on, specifically with a presentation about how we balance speed of execution, resilience and complexity within the design of our workflows.
