The Guam National Olympic Committee (GNOC) is gearing up to host the annual general assembly of the Oceania National Olympic Committees (ONOC) on May 17. This esteemed event will bring together delegates and stakeholders from across the region to discuss pivotal developments in the Olympic movement.
As part of the assembly’s agenda, the GNOC will conduct a series of events and workshops designed to engage participants in meaningful discussions.

Leading up to the assembly, a workshop focused on Olympic Solidarity Finance occurred at Hotel Nikko Guam, facilitating important dialogues about funding and support mechanisms for Olympic initiatives. This will be followed by a marketplace and one-on-one sessions where National Olympic Committees (NOCs) will engage directly with Olympic Solidarity (OS).
