Welcome,

We invite you to be a part of the 16th Australian Cotton Conference - Growing Better all the Time - at the Gold Coast Convention & Exhibition Centre at Broadbeach, Queensland where delegates will be focussing on the outlook for the Australian cotton industry and the issues influencing our cotton landscape.

Cotton Australia and the Australian Cotton Shippers Association (ACSA) have combined forces to deliver a conference that unites the entire cotton industry – from researchers right through to brandowners. This will provide a forum where all supply chain partners can come together.

We will endeavour to provide you with knowledge and solutions that will benefit your cotton business moving forward. You will hear from international and national speakers as they deliver market leading information and analysis for our industry – physical, economic, social and political. Sessions will cover topical issues such as farm performance, water issues, biosecurity, coal seam gas development, regional development and the outlook for cotton. For further detailed program information please go the Program page.

In addition to gaining market insights and understanding, the 16th Australian Cotton Conference will provide opportunities for delegates to strengthen and forge professional networks.

The trade display will provide an excellent opportunity to discuss and network with our service industry personnel providing the latest information on their products. The John Deere Cotton Club will feature again and new in 2010, the Elders Delegate Lounge will be a great place to relax with a coffee in the Trade Hall.

On the final night we will once again be celebrating the Australian cotton industry with the Cotton Awards Gala Dinner.

Your participation in the 16th Australian Cotton Conference will keep you informed of the latest thinking and opportunities in cotton.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Gold Coast.

Lyndon Mulligan

Chairman, 16th Australian Cotton Conference
