Past conferences have been held successfully in London (UK), Tours (France), Tucson (USA), Brasilia (Brazil), New Delhi (India), Beijing (China), Tours (France), Pretoria (South Africa), Queretaro (Mexico), and Recife (Brazil). The 11th International Conference will be hosted in Gran Canaria, Canary Islands, Spain, in September 24-27, 2012. These conferences attract scientists, scholars, field practitioners, government agents, extension workers, and producers from all over the world.
Interested hosts are encouraged to submit proposals and send them to Mr. Christian DeVries, Executive Director (goats@heifer.org). All proposals must be received by June 29, 2012 to be placed on the Agenda of the IGA Board for review. After review, a short list of potential hosts will be selected, and invited to give a in-person presentation to the IGA Board of Directors at the 11th International Conference on Goats in Canary Islands, Spain.
Please refer to the
IGA conference planning proposal guidelines when preparing your proposal.
Thank you for your interest in continuing the tradition of the International Goat Association.
