The International Cotton Expositions involved various entities and individuals. Firstly, there were the organizers and promoters of the event, which usually included local chambers of commerce, trade associations or agricultural societies. These groups aimed to showcase the cotton industry's achievements and attract investment and business opportunities. Additionally, the participating exhibitors were typically cotton growers, manufacturers, and distributors who displayed their products and technologies related to cotton cultivation, processing, and trade. This event also attracted visitors, including government officials, foreign dignitaries, investors, and entrepreneurs, who came to learn about the cotton industry and potentially establish business relationships. Moreover, the workforce involved in the exposition, such as event staff, vendors, and service providers, were also directly affected. Furthermore, the general public, particularly local residents, were indirectly impacted as the expos often boosted local economies, fostered community pride, and potentially brought forth infrastructural developments and improvements.
