Background

From 20 to 23 May 2024, we will gather over 250 representatives from the sector for our flagship conference, Bonsucro Global Week (BWG 24), in Cuernavaca, Mexico.

It’s a unique four-day event of learning, sharing, and networking that attracts stakeholders and decision-makers from all parts of the sugarcane sector.

We discuss complex global challenges, hear from world-class speakers and industry experts, and learn from inspiring success stories. We provide our audience with an opportunity to see sustainability innovation in action on our field trips, and also through inviting our sponsors and supporters to exhibit their products. The event also includes a social programme consisting of an informal cocktail event and formal awards ceremony/banquet.
