CARLSBAD, CA - Most of us are coursing through our days with little time to sink into a deep moment of connection with our fellow humans, especially in fresh produce. The Women’s Fresh Perspectives Conference, scheduled for April 13–15, is one of those rare opportunities that creates a space of this kind. While the work is intensive and powerful, coursing in its own right, it is built from a foundation of relationships and advocacy.

“Reconnecting with and meeting new women in the industry is one of the things I most look forward to,” Jen Sanchez, Vice President of Marketing, Sun World International, tells me in the run-up to the event. “At most shows, we are all so busy that it’s hard to find time to connect other than a quick hug and a hello as you pass each other on the show floor. This conference provides us the opportunity to really engage with each other.”

Women from all walks of life and stages in their careers converge for this three-day event and depart with a lifetime of support, guidance, connection, and clarity.

“Women are essential to a company’s success, and events like these allow us time to learn and grow together to enhance our impact in the industry,” Jen explains. “I think we each bring a unique perspective to the opportunities and challenges we face, the insights we gain when working together, and the confidence to speak up are critical.”

Women’s Fresh Perspectives also helps individuals hone their instincts, and open their perspectives to new opportunities and solutions.

“Go with your gut,” Jen says. “Continue learning and you will always evolve your instincts.”

My gut tells me that this is an event not to be missed. See you all soon!
