The IOGCC Annual Conference 2026

The conference takes place at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.

The organizer lists governors, state and federal regulatory officials, oil and natural gas industry representatives, and non-governmental organizations among attendees.

It is most useful for state oil and gas regulators and for industry government-affairs staff who want direct time with the officials who write the rules, since the gathering pulls together governors, state and federal regulators, company representatives and non-governmental groups under the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission. Engineers and service companies hoping for technical paper sessions or product demonstrations would get less, because the stated emphasis is policy, regulation and discussion among officials and stakeholders.

Regulatory and policy gatherings of this kind usually call for business attire, with suits or jackets for men and equivalent dress for women during sessions. The Greenbrier is a formal resort in the West Virginia mountains, and late October is cool, so evening dress tends toward jackets and a warm layer helps.
