HighQuest Group hosts several major agricultural conferences a year, including the Women in Agribusiness Summit series, the Global AgInvesting series and the Organic & Non-GMO Forum.
Please see the links below for a sampling of the media coverage from the 10th anniversary Women in Agribusiness Summit, which was back to in-person (with a virtual option as well) after having the 2020 event be fully remote due to a global pandemic.
The event, which took place 21-23 September in Minneapolis, attracted nearly 400 in-person attendees and almost 300 virtual attendees from dozens of U.S. states and several other countries. Attendees enjoyed presentations on current topics, such as global trade, the protein PACT, sustainability and climate change, and understanding the plant-based consumer. WIA also recognized this year's Demeter Award of Excellence recipients, walked attendees through a virtual tour of AquaBounty, a land-based salmon farm, and celebrated farmers in its annual, ever-popular female producer panel.
