EGM 8-9 November: Houston, we have a booking

This year, the Association will be gathering in Houston, Texas – America’s oil and gas capital – for the annual 4th quarter General Meeting. And since Houston is also the US space capital, the venue will be NASA’s fabled Space Center.

The two-day EGM will take place on 8-9 November and enable members to review next year’s business plan and vote on its associated budget.

Participants will also meet standing committee chairs and managers for informal poster sessions covering achievements and objectives.

On the night of 8 November, Chevron will host a reception and dinner in the Starship Gallery, which features the largest moon rock on display as well as the Apollo 17, Mercury 9 and Gemini V spacecraft – all on show beneath a ceiling that recreates the night sky.

For more information about the Space Center, visit www.spacecenter.org Accommodation in Houston will be at the nearby South Shore Harbour Resort on Clear Lake. IOGP has negotiated special rates at this nautically themed facility. For more information about the hotel, visit www.sshr.com

An agenda for the EGM and joining details will be distributed soon.
