AgCeptional Women's Conference

AgCeptional Conference Announces New Partnership and Move to West Point for 2026

NORFOLK, Neb. — The 17th Annual AgCeptional Conference, held last week in Norfolk, Nebraska, brought exciting announcements about the future of the long-standing event.

Hosted in partnership with Northeast Community College for the past 17 years, the AgCeptional Conference provides a full day of learning, inspiration, and networking for those involved in the agricultural industry. Each year, the event draws nearly 350 attendees from across the region on the Friday before Thanksgiving.

This year, the conference committee announced a new partnership with the Nebraska Women in Agriculture Program at the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. The collaboration will strengthen the conference’s educational impact and provide additional resources and opportunities for participants.

“We are excited to be partnering with the AgCeptional committee to help advance their programming so we can continue to serve those in the region” said Jessica Groskopf, Director of Nebraska Women in Agriculture.

In addition to the new partnership, the committee revealed that the 2026 AgCeptional Conference will be held in West Point, Nebraska, at the Nielsen Community Center. The move, scheduled for November 20, 2026, opens new possibilities for the event, including vendor exhibits, a coffee truck, and a social hour to close out the day.

Organizers say the changes reflect the conference’s continued growth and commitment to serving women and professionals in agriculture through relevant programming and new opportunities to connect.

All attendees are welcome to participate regardless of race, gender, or any other protected status.
