The 32nd International Cotton Conference will be held in Bremen, Germany, from March 19 to 21, 2014. The theme of the 2014 conference will be, understanding consumer attitudes and expectations about cotton. Among the issues to be debated are: What does the consumer expect?  How can the cotton and textile industries meet these expectations? What effect do trends in consumer preferences have on the clothing market, and what trends are developing now? What exactly makes cotton a unique fiber in the eyes of people all around the world?

The conference is a meeting opportunity for people from all sides of the cotton business, from the cotton seed producer to the retailer. The International Cotton Conference began at Bremen in the 1950s and dealt exclusively with matters of cotton testing, before developing over the years to include more and more on cotton production and the next stages of the textile chain.

For 2014 analyses, findings, research results and solutions will be presented and discussed on everything from cotton growing through processing and equipment to everyday comfort. Sustainability in production, textile processing and the use of clothing, which is becoming increasingly important for the end consumer, will also be looked at.
