What better way to finish the Australian Cotton Conference than with good food, great company and a celebration of the people who make Australian cotton what it is.

The Australian Cotton Industry Awards Dinner is the night to recognise the growers, innovators, leaders and researchers who go above and beyond — celebrating the achievements, stories and contributions that keep our industry moving forward.

Settle in for a three-course dinner, plenty of laughs and a chance to catch up with friends and colleagues from across the cotton industry. Australian comedian Vince Sorrenti will take the reins as MC, with live music from the Baker Boys keeping the celebrations going.

See Future Cotton Leaders Graduate at the Leadership Forum

The leadership forum is open to all ages and will have graduates from all the Cotton Australia and CRDC funded industry leadership programs in attendance as well as for emerging leaders and professionals. The event will explore what it takes to lead in a changing industry, with insights from guest speaker Kristen Hansen — a leading voice in leadership, emotional intelligence and neuroscience-based performance.

The event will also mark a milestone for the 2026 Future Cotton Leaders cohort, celebrating their graduation and recognising their commitment to building their leadership capabilities and contributing to the future of Australian cotton.
