Equip Exposition has announced its 2026 programming dedicated to women in the green industry, which includes the Women’s Leadership Reception will feature Susan Packard, as well as Judith Guido, who is recognized as one of the highest-ranking women in the green industry. The event, sponsored by Belgard, SiteOne and Hunter FX/Luminaire, will take place Thursday, October 22, at 4 p.m. 

Susan Packard, a media entrepreneur who helped create popular TV channels like HGTV, CNBC and Food Network, is one of the speakers for the Women’s Leadership Reception. Fellow keynote speaker Judith Guido has spent her career building leading green industry companies, including taking one public on the NYSE. “Susan and I have both built executive careers in male dominated industries by delivering results and leading with resilience,” Guido says. “We’re passionate about and committed to helping women build careers and lives they never thought possible—through education, bold ideas, strong relationships, and smart problem solving—and we’re excited to share our insights, experiences and what it takes to grow, lead and win in business and the green industry.”
