Meck says the virtual platform will allow everyone to connect.

“We are going to be able not only to hear the presenters but be able to communicate with the presenters through the chat line.  We’ve got speakers that are selling books and so you’ll be able to go in and purchase books from them.”

Meck says the platform will allow everybody to connect with every delegate at the conference and have a discussion with them and then be able to print off your database so that you can connect and continue building relationships.

“One great thing about Advancing Women is that it allows an opportunity for women all across the industry, whether you’re a student studying agriculture in university and college, farmers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, grower association members, corporate agri-business.”

Meck says once again the conference is a real opportunity for women to come together.

“Really pull up a chair and talk to each other about leadership about women can make a difference in the industry, from all across the industry.”
