Make plans now to attend the 20th annual Women Stepping Forward for Agriculture Conference at the Big Horn Resort, 1801 Majestic Lane, Billings, Mont., Oct. 3-5, 2022.
This year’s conference theme is Cheers to 20 Years and will be opened by Montana Lieutenant Governor Kristen Juras. The agenda is packed with speakers that will deliver information on today’s most relevant agricultural topics: small business development and agritourism, farm and ranch stress and mental health, recordkeeping, human trafficking, and cooking with pulse crops.
Attendees will hear from LaDonna Gatlin, a motivational speaker who grew up performing with her brothers, the Gatlin Brothers. They will also hear from Karen Grosz, founder of Canvas Creek Teambuilding, and Mayzie Cremer, creator of Activists vs. Agriculture website and blog.
There will be several rotating skill stations and will cover the following topics: wool identification, meat identification, home organization, charcuterie instruction, a rainfall simulator demonstration, and more.
Attendees will have time to network at a no-host social on Monday evening at the Moss Mansion and a 20th anniversary celebration on Tuesday evening. Trade show vendors will have educational information and items for sale.
Registration for the conference is $70 prior to Sept. 3 and $90 after that date. A one-day registration is available for $50. Registration information and a full agenda can be found on the Women Stepping Forward for Agriculture website at womensteppingforward.org. Special room rates are available at the Big Horn Resort in Billings until Sept. 21. Ask for the Women Stepping Forward for Agriculture rate when booking a room.
Attendees will receive a commemorative 20th anniversary gift worth more than $25 as part of their registration.
