The Lower Namoi Camp Cotton Riverside networking dinner was delivered as part of the broader Camp Cotton program funded by Australian cotton growers through Cotton Australia. The purpose of the project was to strengthen connections between Australian cotton growers, local communities, and global fashion and textile stakeholders through a community engagement event held in Narrabri during the Camp Cotton tour.

The event successfully brought together more than 100 attendees, including growers, industry representatives, researchers, local community members, and delegates from Australia and international brands and retailers. The dinner provided an opportunity for delegates to experience the Lower Namoi community firsthand, build relationships across the supply chain, and gain a greater understanding of Australian regional communities.
