Women in Print dinners to become an annual event

Georgie Grabyn, Patron for Women in Print, and Heidelberg’s HR manager, said that the response to these events was positive. “Across five states nearly 300 women attended the dinners and feedback has shown a great desire for the initiative to continue,” she said.

Guest speaker Catharine Lumby, associate professor of media studies at Sydney University, spoke at each of the dinners and said that Women in Print had been a great success and a rewarding experience for her because she was able to meet so many interesting women.

Women in Print is set to continue with events for next year soon to be planned. “Women in Print will continue to gather momentum, following on from the positive response to our inaugural dinners. Once feedback from all states has been gathered we will start to plan next year’s events," Grabyn said. "Heidelberg will continue to drive and sponsor this initiative and the invitation is still open for more support and sponsorship from within the industry. Without the dedication and hard work from our sponsors, as well as the support from women across the country, these events could not have been as successful as they were.”
