Women in Print (WiP) will be consolidating to nationally-driven base, and it is looking for more sponsors. In 2017 they will be celebrating 10 years giving women in the industry opportunity to expand their networks.

According to WiP more than 2500 women have participated in regular events with over 350 women this year participating in five breakfast meetings in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane.

This year PuggleFM CEO Charlie Caruso will be speaking at the event discussing innovation, disruption and entrepreneurship.

NSW Women in print patron Karen Goldsmith says she was positive regarding Charlie and the events with requests from attendees for more networking opportunities during the year. She says as this is a not-for-profit WiP can only continue to operate at a level with the support of the industry.

“Corporate sponsorship enables us to engage top level speakers and to ensure the five breakfast events we hold annually maintain the high standard our delegates now expect,” Goldsmith says.

“It is not only a terrific initiative, it is also a great opportunity for sponsors to demonstrate support for the industry while getting your company’s name and message in front of some of the industry’s leading executives and professionals.”

Corporate sponsorship opportunities for 2017 as a major sponsor, associate or supporter are now open.

This forum originally began as an initiative of Heidelberg Graphic Equipment and has grown into a national program. Once again this year it will be facilitated by Visual Connections and Printing Industries with help from local patrons in each state.
