After the success of the 2018 Global Sorghum Conference in Cape Town, South Africa, it was decided to form an International Sorghum Task Force (ISTF) to capitalize on the momentum generated by the previous conference and provide an organizing body for future regular global sorghum conferences.

The International Sorghum Task Force is a representative body for the global sorghum research community which is hosted by ICC.

The ISTF focusses on maintaining a high scientific standard and ensuring the continuation, further development, and success of the International Sorghum Conference in the future. Throughout the process of organising the conference event, from the bid to the evaluation survey, the International Sorghum Task Force ensures that all activities are in line with its global mission and goals.

To ensure that objectives and targets are met, ISTF is involved in the planning and management of the conference. Furthermore, the ISTF monitors the proper and consistent use of the conference brand and safeguards its reputation and longevity.
