This event is designed to inspire, connect, and empower early-to-mid-career women in the produce and floral industries. Focused on mentorship, career development, and leadership, it offers a unique opportunity for emerging leaders to learn from seasoned professionals, hear their stories, and gain practical takeaways. Join us for an energizing experience that builds visibility, fosters community, and strengthens connections across generations of women shaping the industry.

The day will feature:
