Save the Date for the Ag Engage Conference 2026!

Join us for the 2026 Ag Engage Conference (formerly Ag Women Engage Conference). This year’s conference will be at the Monroe Convention Center, Bloomington, IN on February 19.  On February 18, 2026, our pre-conference sessions will also be held, along with an Emerging Ag Leaders Conference (formerly Young Ladies in Ag Forum).

This year’s keynote speaker Farmwithzoe.

Zoe Kent is an 8th-generation grain farmer in Ohio who has transformed her passion for agriculture into a successful venture. After earning her agribusiness degree from The Ohio State University, she returned to the family farm to work alongside her father, Mickey. Following his retirement at the end of 2021, Zoe took the reins and now manages all operations at Kent Family Farms. Through her engaging social media presence @farmwithzoe , she shares informative, family-friendly farming videos. With a community of half a million followers, Zoe connects with fellow agricultural enthusiasts and promotes a positive message about farming to consumers.
