Dear ICGI members and colleagues:

Due to the continued global COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on travel, the ICGI Research Conference scheduled for February 2022 will be postponed. Please note that we hope to reschedule the Israel conference for a later date in 2022.

The ICGI Steering Committee, in coordination with Prof. Saranga in Israel, will re-assess plans for the conference in early 2022. Please be on the lookout for updated information as soon as an alternate date has been selected.

In the meantime, if you are able, please plan to attend the 2022 ICGI workshop at PAG. Please see the official PAG 2022 website (https://www.intlpag.org/2022/) for registration information, attendee safety/well-being plans, and preliminary schedules.

On behalf of your ICGI steering committee, I want to thank you for your patience and understanding. We have certainly faced challenges and uncertainties over the last two years. We will continue to update you as decisions are made regarding our international research conference. I wish you continued good health and productive cotton research!!

Regards,

Todd
