2 34 th IGC AUSTRALIA 2012 | Fourth Circular AUSTRALIA 2012 An unparalleled opportunity for all to experience the geological and other highlights “downunder” MAJOR SPONSOR AND GEOHOST SPONSOR MAJOR SPONSORS
Message from the President and Secretary General As the congress draws ever closer, we are pleased to release more information to assist you in making arrangements for your participation at the 34th IGC in Brisbane. This Fourth Circular includes a full guide to the Field Trips and full itineraries for each of these trips are provided. Updates have also been made to the scientific program. The response to the Super Early Bird registration offer was excellent. Delegates are now taking advantage of the Early bird registration fees of $550 for students and $995 for members (a member of any national geological organisation worldwide qualifies for the members rate). It is important to note that all 34th IGC registration fees include refreshments and lunch every day of the program, the welcome reception and all congress materials. Every effort has been made to keep the fees to the minimum and it is only because of the support of our sponsors and supporters that these fees have been achievable. Air fares to Australia have never been better There are some excellent air fare deals on travel to Australia available right now. We will be including a new space on the congress website www.34igc.org to allow delegates to check on special fares, but you may also wish to contact your travel agent to find out the special fares that may be available from your country. Field trips Travelling to Australia for the 34th IGC affords delegates an excellent opportunity to experience firsthand the unique and fascinating geology of Australia and the Oceania region and an impressive array of field trips has been designed to assist you to take full advantage of this opportunity. The full itineraries, booking details and prices of all of the field trips are now available. They are detailed in this circular and may also be found at the congress website, www.34igc.org. If you are planning to join a field trip please review the options and make your bookings as soon as possible as the booking deadline is 31 March 2012. Please take some time to review the field trip itineraries. We are confident that the tours cover the broad interests of delegates attending the 34th IGC. Accommodation reservations There has been a very high take up rate of official hotels and accommodation offerings by Earlybird delegates who have already registered for the IGC and some hotels are already almost fully booked. We urge delegates to register and book their accommodation as soon as possible to ensure that you can obtain the discounted rates now available (refer to the Accommodation section of www.34igc.org for full details). We have reserved plenty of rooms in Brisbane for the 34th IGC but any unallocated rooms must be released in May. There is very high demand for accommodation in Brisbane in August and once unallocated rooms have been released to the general market, availability will be very limited and rates are likely to be significantly higher. Once again, we are very thankful for the support of so many members of the global geoscientific community and we look forward to welcoming you all to Brisbane in August for the 34th IGC.
