Get Involved
The Statewide Women in Agriculture and Small Business Conference is back for 2021 thanks to funds from Reinvesting in Oklahoma State University's Division of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources, along with an increase in private sponsorships making it possible to resume this amazing educational event. Display booths for products, programs or resources require a $250 sponsorship and include one registration.
Conference Hotel and Venue
The 2021 conference provides participants opportunities for informal networking with other women in agriculture. We encourage attendees to stay at the hotel to enjoy the amenities provided, tentative conference evening reception and take advantage of the OKC Outlet Mall shopping very close by. Use this time to gain knowledge, but also enjoy a little social recreation and time with other likeminded women. We all need a little break from home now and then! Reserve your room at a special rate through Women in Ag Conference with the Hilton Garden Inn.
NEW Conference site to enjoy! Champion Convention Center 803 South Meridian Avenue Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73108. This newly remodeled venue is able to safely accommodate conference attendees with spacious general session and break out rooms as well as networking lobby space. All conference attendees are requested to follow all current CDC guidelines and protocol for event gatherings. This includes staying home or in your reserved hotel room if feeling ill, washing hands often, wearing a mask while in public spaces and maintaining a safe social distance.
Come for the Education – Stay for the friendships!
