尊敬的BCI会员及盆景界同仁：
Bonsai Clubs International（BCI）成立于1963年，是一家非营利性公益组织。历经六十余载稳健发展，我们的会员遍布全球70多个国家和地区，长期致力于推动全球盆景与水石文化的融合共生，以及盆景与水石艺术在世界范围内的共同繁荣与发展。
近期，原定于2026年在马来西亚举办的BCI地区展，被当地主办方单方面正式取消。该决定在做出前未与BCI执行委员会或主办协会会长进行任何沟通。BCI此前已通过官方网站及出版物等官方渠道发布了该展览的相关信息，全球众多会员已自行安排行程并预订交通票据。此次活动的突然取消，构成了一起突发紧急事件。
针对此次仓促取消给会员们带来的重大不便和行程困扰，BCI执行委员会向全球会员致以最诚挚的歉意和深切的遗憾。我们特此发布正式声明如下：
1. 2026年BCI马来西亚地区展的取消，系当地主办方的单方面决定，超出BCI的管辖范围。BCI此前未收到任何形式的预警或书面备案文件。
2. 所有会员的个人旅行安排、航班预订、酒店预订及由此产生的各项附带费用，均为会员个人自愿安排。所有相关旅行费用及行程风险，应由会员自行承担。
3. BCI不对因航班改签、退票、行程变更产生的任何费用，以及因活动取消导致的任何间接损失的赔偿或补偿承担责任。
为持续满足全球会员的文化交流需求，并稳定本组织的年度国际活动安排，现公布后续国际展览的筹备计划：
计划于2027年9月在意大利举办的2027年BCI国际盆景展，以及计划于2027年5月在菲律宾举办的BCI地区展，目前均在稳步推进中，各项前期准备工作已全面展开。详细活动日程将适时发布。此外，BCI大会委员会正在推进更多展览项目的筹备工作，相关信息将另行公布。
未来，BCI将加强并完善对活动主办方的资质审核与协作管理机制，优化国际活动的会前沟通流程及风险评估与控制措施，全力避免类似事件再次发生。
盆景艺术无国界，文化根源共相连。我们恳请各位会员及同仁理解这一特殊情况，并继续关注和支持BCI的国际交流活动。期待在菲律宾和意大利的展览上与大家相聚，共赏盆景之美，共促全球盆景事业的繁荣发展。
Dear BCI members and peers in our bonsai community,
Founded in 1963, Bonsai Clubs International (BCI) is a non-profit public welfare organization. With more than six decades of steady growth, our membership spans more than 70 countries and regions worldwide. We have long been committed to promoting the integration and coexistence of global bonsai and suiseki culture, as well as the shared prosperity and development of bonsai and suiseki art worldwide.
Recently, the originally approved 2026 BCI Regional Exhibition in Malaysia was unilaterally and officially canceled by the local organizer. This decision was made without prior communication with the BCI Executives or the president of the organizing association. BCI had previously released relevant information about the exhibition through official channels, including our website and publications. Numerous members worldwide had independently arranged travel itineraries and booked transportation tickets. The abrupt cancellation of the event constitutes an unforeseen emergency.
In response to the significant inconvenience and travel disruptions caused by the hasty cancellation, the BCI Executives extend their most sincere apologies and profound regrets to members worldwide. We hereby issue this formal statement:
1. The cancellation of the 2026 BCI Malaysia Regional Exhibition is a unilateral decision made by the local organizer and falls beyond BCI’s jurisdiction. BCI received no prior warnings or written filing documents of any kind.
2. All members’ personal travel arrangements, flight bookings, hotel reservations, and all resulting incidental expenses are voluntarily arranged by individual members. All relevant travel costs and itinerary risks shall be borne solely by the members themselves.
3. BCI shall not be liable for any expenses arising from flight rescheduling, ticket refunds, itinerary changes, nor for compensation or indemnification of any indirect losses resulting from the event cancellation.
To continue meeting the cultural exchange needs of members worldwide and help stabilize our organization’s annual international event arrangements, we hereby release the draft plan for the upcoming international exhibitions:
The 2027 BCI International Bonsai Exhibition, scheduled for September 2027 in Italy, and the BCI Regional Exhibition planned for the Philippines in May 2027, are progressing steadily, with all preliminary preparations underway. Detailed event schedules will be released in due course. Additionally, the BCI Convention Committee is advancing preparations for more exhibition projects, with relevant information to be announced at a later date.
Moving forward, BCI will strengthen and improve the qualification-review and collaborative-management mechanisms for event organizers, enhance pre-event communication procedures and risk-assessment and control measures for international events, and make every effort to prevent similar incidents from recurring.
Bonsai art transcends national borders, and its cultural origins share a common root. We sincerely ask all members and friends to understand this special situation and to continue following and supporting BCI’s international-exchange activities. We look forward to meeting you at exhibitions in the Philippines and Italy, where we can appreciate the beauty of bonsai together and jointly promote the prosperous development of the global bonsai industry.
致以亲切的问候
