Stephanie Gaddin, chair of Women in Print Australia, said, “Every year, the Breakfast Series serves as a reminder of the strength, talent, and camaraderie within our industry.”

She added, “These events are more than just breakfasts — they provide a space where women and allies can come together to learn, support each other, and recognise the contributions of women in print.”

Last year’s series attracted more than 600 attendees, with Canberra hosting its first event and strong participation across multiple cities. According to Women in Print, 90 per cent of attendees gave positive feedback.

Sponsorship opportunities are available, including ally sponsorships, series sponsorships, and single event packages. Information on sponsorships can be accessed on the Women in Print website or by contacting hello@womeninprint.com.au.

Gaddin noted that paid membership uptake has been strong, saying, “Early access and discounts to all Women in Print events is just one of the benefits of membership, so if you have been considering signing up, doing so soon will ensure you get the best value from your membership in 2025.”

The Women in Print Breakfast Series is supported by volunteer committees in each State, Women in Print Allies Cactus Imaging, Media Super, and Ricoh Australia, along with industry supporters including Ball & Doggett, Country Mile Signs, FramptonPR, IVE Group, NJ Creative, Rocking Rose, Signright Australia, and Total Digital Solutions.
