Registration is Open for the International Year of the Woman Farmer ACE Summit

In celebration of the International Year of the Woman Farmer initiative, the American Farm Bureau Federation's Women's Leadership program, together with a strong coalition of U.S. agrifood system stakeholders, will host a landmark national gathering to honor the vital role women play in agriculture and the supply chain.

Registration is open for the International Year of the Woman Farmer ACE (Advocate, Cultivate, Empower) Summit, which will take place in Washington, D.C., June 1-3. The summit is open to all women farmers from across the country, regardless of Farm Bureau membership.

This signature event will empower, equip and connect women farmers, ranchers and agribusiness professionals. Through skill-building sessions, high-impact networking and leadership-focused programming, attendees will strengthen their voices and leadership within the agricultural community. 

"The ACE Summit is our premier gathering for agricultural leaders," said Isabella Chism, chair of AFBF's Women's Leadership Committee. "I love this summit because it's a chance to take a deep breath, meet new people and sharpen my skills. Farmers don't take breaks often enough and this is a golden opportunity to invest in yourself."

A limited number of attendees may register for an optional "Women in Ag Day on Capitol Hill" experience, which includes one of the following: advocacy visits on Capitol Hill, industry tours or independent sightseeing, followed by a Congressional Reception celebrating the International Year of the Woman Farmer.
