Women in Print Australia tickets are now on sale for the 2025 Breakfast Series, which bring together women across the print industry for connection, inspiration, and meaningful conversations.
This year the theme of the series is Nourish to Flourish, with the gatherings set to explore multiple facets of health and wellbeing in a ‘whole-of-life’ approach that considers both work and family life.
Across the country, various speakers and panels will share their insights and expertise on everything from physical and mental health, to the role of happiness and self-care in bringing out our best selves.
Stephanie Gaddin, Chair of Women in Print Australia, says, “Every year, the Women in Print Breakfast Series is an opportunity for our industry to come together, learn from remarkable speakers, and foster the sense of community that makes print so special.
“With Canberra on the calendar for a second time, and Hobart hosting a Lunch Edition, we’re expanding our reach and making space for even more voices to be heard.”
