The Print Media Academy (PMA) of Heidelberg is recognising the potential of women in the industry, and the PMA will be holding an international networking meeting entitled "Women in Print" as part of drupa 2008.

The meeting is aimed at women in management positions within the print media industry and is scheduled to begin at 9.30am in the Sternberg Lounge, next to the Heidelberg Halls 1 and 2. Applications to attend the event can be submitted at www.print-media-academy.com/hd/women-in-print until May 21.

The event has been given an international flavor for the first time, and aims to provide women executives with a common platform for sharing their experiences and ideas. Speakers include Marian Salzman from J Walter Thompson, and Shelly Gare, who has worked for various newspapers and magazines in England and is now a journalist in Australia.

Adriana Nuneva, head global marketing at Heidelberg, and who was guest of honour at the recent Women in print ecvents in Sydney and Melbourne says, "I am positive that Women in Print will define completely new directions for women in the print media industry worldwide. The global network of the Print Media Academy of Heidelberg can provide invaluable support in achieving this."
