Following the success of the recent Women In Print breakfast in Canberra, where the growing ACT and regional community enjoyed a networking breakfast at Instant Colour Press Conference Centre in Belconnen, focus is now on Adelaide, Sydney and Brisbane to close out the series.

Midway through an ambitious ‘seven capital cities in eight days’ agenda, Women in Print Australia Chair, Stephanie Gaddin, has been delighted with the turn-out for the four events so far, in Melbourne, Perth, Hobart (lunch) and, this morning, in Canberra.

The 2025 Women in Print Breakfast Series is supported by various industry suppliers, associations and trade media.
