Empowering Women in
Fresh Produce & Floral
IFPA's Exclusive Programs & Events
Welcome to our platform dedicated to empowering women in the fresh produce and floral industries. The International Fresh Produce Association (IFPA) offers programs and events like the Women's Fresh Perspectives Conference, Mentoring Program, and regional events to inspire and connect businesswomen. Join us in celebrating the incredible women driving innovation and excellence in these vibrant sectors.
Empowered women empower. The Women’s Fresh Perspectives Conference ignites women’s potential and their joy – the joy of their careers, their work, their relationships – the Joy of Fresh. The 2025 Women’s Fresh Perspectives Conference is SOLD OUT!
We believe a key part of the Women’s Fresh Perspectives mission to cultivate women’s potential is to foster valuable relationships and strong networks for our female members. We have partnered with Pollinate Networks Inc. to build a comprehensive mentorship program at the International Fresh Produce Association.
