SXSW 2025
Women in Food
Description:
Women account for the vast majority of food-purchasing decisions in the U.S. Almost half make up the food service industry and yet are severely underrepresented across the board above entry-level positions. In this session, you’ll hear from women leading the most recognizable brands on your grocery store shelf discuss how the “female mind” fuels creativity, category innovation and business success.
