National Organisation Committee and Subcommittees

The National Organisation Committee (NOC) is responsible for providing the overall strategic guidance, coordination, and driving all aspects of IGC2028, including the putting together of the conference program, including scientific themes, field excursions, and for promoting the conference. The NOC is the committee that will host IGC 2028. They report-to, and are accountable-to the Foundation Board.

Two chairs - Katherine Boggs and Glenn Dolphin - are responsible for this committee.

Various subcommittees, including the Scientific Program, Field Excursion, Education and Outreach, Social Media and Communications, Sponsorship, and the GeoHost Subcommittees report to the NOC to ensure the smooth organisation of the conference. The NOC also liaises with the IAC and IAB.
