"Accessible conversations promoting diversity and inclusion in processing are extremely important, because women offer unique experiences, strengths and insights that are key to propelling the industry forward.

We always want to explore strategies that support the professional development and advancement of women in this field," says Steve Everly, Group Event Director at Informa Markets Engineering.
With women only making up about 30% percent of the 15.8 million people employed in manufacturing industries, iPBS aims to address the critical need for women in the manufacturing and processing industries.
Directly following the day two keynote, a "Women in Processing" networking event will take place from 9 - 9:45a.m. providing guests the opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals, build meaningful connections and gain new perspectives in the world of processing.
