Le CIG est la réunion quadriennale traditionnelle des commissions et task forces de l'UGI et les sessions organisées par les commission et task forces de l'UGI forment le cœur scientifique du congrès. Les commissions et task forces offriront une large palette de sessions sur des thèmes relatifs à leur domaine d'expertise. La plupart de ces sessions est également ouverte aux géographes qui ne sont membres d'aucune commission ou task force de l'UGI.
