ISF Ladies Breakfast: We are delighted to invite you to the Ladies Breakfast at the ISF World Seed Congress 2026 in beautiful Lisbon.
This special gathering offers a warm and inspiring space for women across the seed sector to connect, share experiences, and celebrate our collective contributions to the industry.
This year, the breakfast will also be an excellent opportunity to introduce WISP, the Women in Seed Program, an initiative dedicated to supporting, empowering, and elevating women throughout the global seed community. Join us to learn more about WISP, engage in meaningful conversations, and enjoy a relaxed and uplifting start to the day in the heart of Portugal’s vibrant capital.
The breakfast will be held on Wednesday 20 May from 7:00 AM in the Mirror restaurant, CCL and it is restricted to ladies.

Please let us know if you are interested in the following topics for our panels.

In Lisbon, ISF is partnering with the International Association of Students in Agriculture and Related Sciences (IAAS), the Portuguese national seed association (ANSEME), and the University of Lisbon to support a community vegetable garden as a legacy project.

This initiative will feature hands-on training and communication programs designed for students and the broader community. Through these activities, we aim to build practical agricultural skills while raising awareness about sustainable food systems.

The garden’s harvest will be donated to the Lisbon Food Bank (Banco Alimentar), providing fresh, nutritious produce that contributes directly to local food security.

Would you or your organization be interested in learning more and potentially participating in this meaningful initiative? Your engagement could make a valuable difference for the community and help empower the next generation of agricultural leaders.
