ICA Opens Registration for “Liverpool 2013” Event

Registration is now open for the International Cotton Association’s (ICA) next major trade event, “Liverpool 2013,” which will be held October 24-25 in Liverpool, UK. While the event signifies a return to ICA’s historical home in Liverpool, the 2013 version will be held in an all-new conference venue: the Hilton Hotel. The famed ICA dinner will continue to be held in the magnificent St. George’s Hall, and is expected to attract 500 delegates from all sectors of the global cotton community.
 “Our annual trade event is undoubtedly one of the industry’s most historic events and a highlight in the cotton calendar,” says ICA President Ahmed Elbosaty. “As an international president, having the event return to a city that is so significant in the history of cotton is something which I am really looking forward to.
“With the theme ‘stronger together’, we aim to build on the success of our 2012 event in Hong Kong. We have another comprehensive and interactive program planned that will focus on how the supply chain can expect more positive results if it sticks together.”
‘Liverpool 2013’ is open to anybody with an interest in the cotton trade and has already attracted sponsorship from seventeen companies – including gold sponsors; ECOM Cotton Group, Louis Dreyfus Commodities, Sunrise Resources, Wakefield Inspection Services, Modern Nile Cotton, Plexus, Reinhart, ABC Cotspin, Bhadresh and Toyoshima and silver sponsors; Sunny Trexim, Cargo Control Group, Raghunath Agrotech, Omnicotton, Cotlink International, Royal Inspection International and Cargill.
