It’s where the brightest and the best of the better half of our industry will gather to snaffle cornflakes and toast, drink fruit juice and coffee and chart the future destiny of printing in Australia.
The 7th Heidelberg Women in Print event series is slipping into a sunrise timetable for a power breakfast in capital cities around the nation. The increasing turnout at these popular events is expected to be even greater this year with the new format. The affairs have a justified reputation as great networking events for professional women who work in our male dominated industry.
Celebrity speaker this time around may even bring her own breakfast cereals. Certainly she has experience in providing many of us with snacks whenever we fly.
