The series has kicked off earlier than previous years, to accommodate industry travel to drupa later in May. Tickets are now available for purchase, including group and table bookings.  

“Women in Print have firmly established the breakfast as the must-do event in the industry calendar. The International Women’s Day theme for 2024 is Count her In: Invest in Women, Accelerate Progress, and we invite all companies across our diverse industry to invest in their teams at this year's breakfast. From accounts to sales, from manufacturing to operations, from delivery to installation, this year the keynote will be useful and insightful to all,” said Stephanie Gaddin, chair of Women in Print Australia.

The keynote activity for the 2024 Breakfast Series will be delivered by Christina Bruce, speaker, author, leader, and sales trainer with extensive corporate experience. The keynote activity is titled 'Don’t just think outside of the box, build a better box'.

Bruce has 25 years' experience in sales and marketing, working with teams in leadership and training capacities throughout her corporate career in Australia and overseas. Her diverse experience spans professional services, tertiary education, medical devices, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, and IP law.

The Brisbane breakfast, having outgrown its venue in 2023, will be relocating to a larger space. Tickets are open for reservation, with the venue to be confirmed in coming weeks.

Hobart is again on the calendar, this time with a breakfast, following is successful inaugural event in 2023, launched as a small luncheon with great success. Tasmanian patron, and deputy chair of Women in Print, Sam Dobie said, “In the few short months we have been operational in Tasmania, interest has been enthusiastic across the board, from both women and men, from executive levels through to those on the tools. This tells me we are creating opportunities and events with value that resonate with everyone, and ultimately that's what this is all about, being passionate industry leaders, doing things that benefit all of us.”
