Programme Partner Meeting 2026 (Sessions 1-2)
January 21, 2026 - January 22, 2026
We are pleased to invite you to the Better Cotton Initiative's Programme Partner Meeting 2026. This virtual gathering will take place over two weeks, with two three-hour sessions each week for a total of four sessions. Additionally, we will host the Large Farm Symposium on Day 2 of the Partner Meeting.
We aim to continue providing space for networking and interactions, offering a solution-oriented event for all front-line implementers of the Better Cotton Initiative (BCI) Standard System. Programme Partners will have the opportunity to learn and interact around BCI's latest field and standard developments, strengthen relationships and enhance collaboration across the partner network, including an opportunity to showcase and share their best practices. The Large Farm community will share best practices and exchange ways to overcome shared challenges in adopting sustainable farming methods aligned with BCI standards and mission.
This event is open to all BCI Programme and Strategic Partners. We kindly ask you to share these dates with Partners as soon as possible to ensure they can reserve the time in their calendars. For your convenience, i-Calendar appointments are attached. A registration link will be provided closer to the event date. If you have any questions, please contact: [email protected].
Programme Partner Meeting languages: English, Turkish, Hindi, French, Urdu, Uzbek, Portuguese, and Mandarin Chinese.
