Three-Day Conference to Focus on Building a Resilient and Competitive Future for Cotton and Textiles
The International Cotton Advisory Committee (ICAC) has opened registration for its 84th Plenary Meeting, scheduled to take place from March 24–26, 2027, in Alexandria, Egypt. The conference will bring together stakeholders from across the cotton and textile value chain under the theme “Building a Resilient and Competitive Future for Cotton and Textiles.”
The event will be held at the Rixos Montaza Alexandria Resort and organised with the support of the local Organizing Committee in Egypt.
Conference to Cover Key Cotton and Textile Industry Issues
The three-day meeting will feature sessions addressing technical, agricultural, regulatory and manufacturing developments across the cotton and textile value chain.
The programme will include:
- Technical Seminar on Climate-Resilient Cotton Varieties
- Encouraging Farmers to Grow Cotton
- Regulatory Developments Affecting Cotton and Textiles
- Technology, Quality and Competitiveness in Modern Textile Manufacturing
- Reports from the ICAC Secretariat
World Café to Discuss Environmental Impact
The conference will also feature the World Café, an interactive session designed to gather the views and ideas of attendees rather than focusing solely on presentations from speakers.
The theme for the 2027 World Café will be “Reducing Environmental Impact Across the Cotton Value Chain.”
Other sessions will examine regional cooperation and investment opportunities, sustainable and circular textile systems, digital solutions for farmers, risk management in cotton trade and logistics, and consumer trends influencing future cotton demand.
Technical Tour to Explore Egypt's Cotton and Textile Facilities
Following the plenary meeting, attendees will have the option to participate in a Technical Tour. The programme will include visits to Egyptian cotton research, production, processing and textile facilities, along with a cultural visit in Alexandria.
