With the dust having almost settled and all the post congress field trips now complete, we have had some time to reflect on 35th IGC. Although it was inevitable that there would be some challenges in managing an event of this magnitude and complexity, the overwhelming sentiment express by Prof. Roland Oberhänsli and the IUGS team; as well as from many delegates and accompanying persons has been that the congress was an overwhelming success.

This success has been largely due to the commitment and hard work of the Local Organising Committee coupled with guidance from the 35th IGC Foundation Board. We had a wonderful team and are very proud of their efforts, which were instrumental in us being able to stage such a world class event. The invaluable support of our sponsors was also a crucial factor in ensuring the success of the 35th IGC and we extend our sincere thanks to them for their unwavering commitment.
