8 Advancing Women Conference Ashley Perepelkin offers her innovative tallow products to women. Elevating the discussion on agriculture In March, more than 340 women gathered at the Hyatt Regency Calgary for the Advancing Women Conference. The attendees included producers, agri-business entrepreneurs, grower associations and corporate agri-business representatives, government officials, and students, all of whom are passionate about agriculture and food. This conference provided a platform for these women to share their stories, hear different perspectives, profile their innovations, celebrate their successes, and discuss the challenges they face. Together, they exchanged valuable tips on how to thrive and contribute to the agriculture industry. The greatest asset of the conference is the networking and building relationships with women in ag from Newfoundland and Labrador to British Columbia. Dianne Finstad moderates the women in ag panel with Jess Verstappen, Kendra Wack, Amanda Crook, and Erin Wilson. Students selected to attend AWCWEST2025 and their sponsors.
