The IGIHOF mission is to recognize individuals and organizations for excellence in ecological sustainability and provide an educational forum for the public. The scope of the organization is International and not limited by borders or boundaries.

The University of California - Merced located in Merced, CA is the ideal venue because of their commitment to sustainability and LEED certification initiatives.

Attendees will have the choice of attending in person or virtually. To further promote environmental sustainability by eliminating the cost of travel (gas, hotel, meals etc), the conference and ceremony will be held "virtually".
