Advancing Women Conference

The Advancing Women in Agriculture Conferences make it possible to connect with others who understand the unique challenges and opportunities for women in agriculture. The conference allows women in all sectors of agriculture to invest in themselves, meet others in the agriculture industry and get inspired by hearing the stories of women producers, entrepreneurs and business leaders who attend and speak at the conferences. Attendees need to pay to be registered for the 2020 virtual Advancing Women in Agriculture event to access the conference through the app. Our virtual 2020 Advancing Women in Agriculture Conference attendees will hear from over 40 speakers in two days of informative presentations, with the opportunity to ask questions of the speakers, and connect with other attendees.
