The National Cotton Council and its cooperating partners will welcome in the new year at the 2023 Beltwide Cotton Conferences January 10 through 12 in New Orleans, which for many of us will be the first meeting of the year.

Beltwide is three days of individual reports, panel discussions, hands on workshops and seminars designed to provide attendees with information they need to help producers make key cotton production/marketing-related decisions. A dynamic program, along with the opportunity to network with peers from across the Cotton Belt, make this conference both educational and enjoyable.

Lauren Krogman is the National Cotton Council’s Manager for Marketing & Processing Technology and serves as coordinator of the event. “What the Beltwide Cotton Conferences are is 12 concurrent conferences from sustainability, to consultants conference, and weed conference,” said Krogman.

Something new this year is that independent crop consultants and producers are now offered the same discounted registration rate as students, which is $80 through midnight central time today and only $100 starting tomorrow, compared to $250. “We want to make sure we are getting in as many producers and consultants as we can,” Krogman said.
