IEC 2022 General Meeting

The USNC will host the IEC 2022 General Meeting in San Francisco!

Hosted annually by a different IEC member nation, the IEC General Meeting brings together international stakeholders for discussion of current issues and future directions and strategies for the IEC. The General Meeting has a unique format, combining management and technical meetings, and bringing all the key players together on one stage.
