2023 Annual Business Meeting
The IOGCC Annual Business Meeting will be held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, May 22-24, 2023. The annual business meeting provides invaluable opportunities for the exchange of information and ideas.
This meeting will bring together a wide range of participants, including governors, state and federal regulatory officials, oil and gas industry representatives, and non-governmental organizations, to advance IOGCC’s mission. IOGCC is a multi-state government agency that champions the conservation and efficient recovery and storage of domestic oil and gas resources while protecting human health and safety and the environment. A lineup of distinguished speakers will provide timely and relevant information on subjects important to our membership.
