Annual Business Meeting 2021

Due to the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, the IOGCC Annual Business Meeting, which is scheduled to occur May 12, 13, 17 – 18, 2021, will be conducted virtually via Zoom.

The IOGCC annual meetings have proven to be invaluable opportunities for the exchange of information and ideas. We look forward to working together to have a successful 2021 Virtual Annual Business Meeting in May.

We are excited to meet in person at the Annual Conference which will be held in beautiful Sante Fe, New Mexico on November 7-9, 2021.
