The 2025 Women in Print Breakfast Series has started strongly, with hundreds joining in the much-anticipated breakfast events in Melbourne and Perth, and a lunch in Hobart, over the past few days.
The series kicked off with in Melbourne, with a huge crowd gathering to hear leading presenter, writer, educator, podcaster and media personality Craig Harper explore the topic of potential – how to recognise it and how to work towards achieving it.
It was the perfect start to the nation-wide program, which has been designed to offer insight, empowerment, and connection under the ‘Nourish to Flourish’ theme.
Stephanie Gaddin, chair of Women in Print Australia, said the theme underlines the role of these gatherings as far more than a corporate breakfast, but rather a critical touchpoint for women at all stages of their careers.
“Women in Print has always been about providing the opportunity for women across the print, packaging, signage and wider visual communications sector to learn and grow, and to inspire, uplift and support each other,” Gaddin said.
“This year’s program really focuses on the things which we can do to refresh and refuel, so that we can continue to be the best version of ourselves, not only at work but in all of life. That’s a message which is more important than ever in this fast-changing world.”
The series will continue this week, with events in Canberra on Tuesday, Adelaide on Wednesday, Sydney on Thursday, and Brisbane on Friday.
In Canberra, singer, performer, and business woman Teresa Wojcik will discuss how to look, feel and present at your best, while guests in Adelaide will hear from Brenda Snyman, health and wellbeing expert, about challenging counterproductive beliefs and getting back on track through happiness, resilience, willpower, creativity, and mindfulness.
In Sydney, mental health and wellbeing will be the focus, with a panel including Steven Gamble, Que Nhi Makar, Carmen Ciappara and Samantha Flook, moderated by multi-award-winning community leader Sarah Cassim.
At the final breakfast for the series, in Brisbane, MC Stacey Thomson – better known as Ranger Stacey from Totally Wild – will MC as Michelle Anne and Diane McKendrick from Those2Sisters guide attendees through the power of the minds, how the head meets the heart, and forging sisterly connections.
“It’s a great program with something different, and valuable, at each event,” Gaddin said adding that a few last-minute tickets are still available for the Sydney and Brisbane events.
“Women in Print are also incredibly grateful to the sponsors and supporters who have made the 2025 Breakfast Series possible, and whose generous contributions empower us to continue delivering programs that provide important insights, support, recognition and professional development for the many women and non-binary people who contribute so much to our sector.”
