Redefine Tomorrow with Geothermal: IGC2024 Sets a New Standard
The theme of our 5th IGC, "Redefine Tomorrow with Geothermal," led to a resoundingly successful event where over 600 participants from over 50 countries came together at Harpa Reykjavik from May 28-30.
At IGC2024, we explored how geothermal solutions are reshaping urban landscapes and reducing carbon footprints to zero, paving the way for a cleaner and more efficient future in heating, cooling, and urban living.
The conference featured plenary sessions with world-renowned speakers and four tracks including 16 sessions where 118 experts from around the globe shared their knowledge and insights, contributing to the conference's great success.
The IGC conference committee meticulously planned both the quality of the conference and the visitor experience in Iceland. With 18 engaging sessions, internationally recognized speakers, sold-out exhibitions, incredible field trips, and other tailored recreational activities, the event was truly exceptional.
Few places in the world can offer what Iceland does: access to six geothermal power plants with diverse installations and turbine setups, geothermal fields, cutting-edge technology developments, demonstrations of direct utilization, and opportunities for interaction with other industries such as fuel cell technologies.
