Organic Exchange cordially invites you to join us in Brazil for our 2008 Latin America Regional Meetings. A leader in fashion with a strong domestic market, Brazil has tremendous potential to expand its organic cotton market locally and internationally  
During the meeting, you will have the opportunity to:
  • Network with colleagues from regional and global companies.
  • Learn about the organic cotton market locally, regionally and internationally.
  • Hear about current models in Brazil and the rest of the region to understand the possibilities for Brazil and Latin America in creating a sustainable supply chain.
  • Look deeply into the domestic market development and innovations in expanding the Latin American domestic market.
  • Attend interactive workshops on certification and integrity: what it is, why we need it and challenges to it; organic cotton: the basics; and Historic Futures track and trace software.
  • Learn more about organic cotton sourcing and committed supply chains, know what you’re buying and how it can make a difference
  • Expand your organic cotton program by using tools available from Organic Exchange.
