The Second Circular of the 34th IGC 2012 Brisbane, Australia, was released on Tuesday 24 May 2011. This is an important stage in the development of the 34th IGC. The Second Circular is being distributed electronically and posted on the IGC website at: http://www.34igc.org. Regularly visit the website for information updates.

The Second Circular includes:

Scientific themes and symposia. The Organising Committee received literally hundreds of suggestions for symposia and scientific sessions and thanks go to all contributors. The Second Circular will include a full list of symposia and topics to be presented at the congress.

Call for abstracts. The Second Circular will include a call for abstracts and launch the on-line abstract submission system. Please note that abstracts can only be submitted via the on-line system and an abstract lodgement fee of $40 (Australian Dollars) is payable. This fee is discounted for multiple abstract submissions.

Super Early Bird registration fee offer. Make sure you read about the Super Early Bird  registration offer in the Second Circular. This significantly reduced registration fee ($895 for single delegates, $850 for 3 or more delegates to a maximum of 20 from the same organisation) will only be available until September 2011, or until 500 delegates register at this rate - whichever comes first. This offer represents the lowest cost registration fee that will ever be available for the 34th IGC.

Exhibition Space Release. At the 34th IGC the exhibition area will be known as the GeoSpace. The release of exhibition space sales will be made in the Second Circular.

GeoHost Scheme Launch. At the 34th IGC the GeoHost scheme shall consist of two programs, being the Training Workshop Program (TWP) and the Funded Delegate Program (FDP). There are specific criteria for each program and full details will be provided in the Second Circular. Applications for GeoHost can be made via an on-line process, which will be launched in the Second Circular.

Pre/Post Congress Tours. A revised list of all pre and post Congress tour offerings, together with descriptions of sites to be visited and duration of each tour, will be released in the Second Circular.
