INSPIRING ACTION!

Women in Agribusiness is an international community of women who are passionate about agribusiness and sharing industry knowledge to help professional women know their business better. The Women in Agribusiness Summit series provides the latest on industry trends and outlooks in an interactive forum, as well as the opportunity to network with the sector’s most influential executives and decision-makers.

“What makes us different is that the Women in Agribusiness team supports women in the ag and food industry 365 days a year. While we do host a large annual event that is known for exceptional content and networking, we also support women-owned businesses, publish a quarterly magazine, post job opportunities, give scholarships to young women, host local networking Meet Ups in over 15 cities, provide leadership training and more,” said Joy O’Shaughnessy, event director and chief operating officer.
 

Introducing
IGNITE: Women-owned Business Expo
