A recent surge in
registrations for the International Cotton Advisory Committee’s (ICAC) 77th
Plenary Meeting has prompted the Organising Committee to extend guaranteed
hotel room availability and discounted rates from the prior deadline of 15
October to 2 November. The global event is scheduled for 2-6 December, 2018, in
Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire.
Due to the high number
of people who just cleared their schedules to attend the conference — which will
be held at the Sofitel Abidjan Hotel Ivoire under the theme, ‘Cotton Challenges: Smart and Sustainable
Solutions’ — the Organising Committee in Abidjan has contacted the various
hotels and secured a two-week extension for discounted rates and guaranteed
room availability. To see the various options for accommodations, please click here.
The majority of the
available speaking opportunities have been filled. Many of the industry’s top
scientists and innovators will share their insights on cotton’s greatest
challenges and opportunities, including:
· The use of
drones and robotics;
· Pesticide resistance;
· New
developments in biotechnology; and
· Refuting the
cotton myths and misinformation perpetrated in the media.
