CAPE CHAMBER WOMEN IN PRINT LUNCHEON 2023:
ONE FOR THE BOOKS |
|
Printing SA's Cape Chamber hosted a phenomenal luncheon at the Cassia Restaurant at Nitida Wine Farm in Durbanville, Cape Town, on Thursday, August 24, 2023. The day focused on praising, uplifting, and inspiring women in the industry.
Hosting a Women in Print event is one of the most influential and informative events in South Africa, and it is also known to be the very only Women in Print event.
Thus, it was found to be significant, and we received great feedback from the day.
Candice, one of our guests in attendance, echoed how amazing it was to see women sharing their journeys and successes and witnessing young designers from Cape Town sharing their love for fashion. "Let's not stop celebrating each other as women's month comes to an end", she said.
Lastly, it is important that women take up their seats at the table, and Printing SA trusts that all the delegates were inspired by the motivational words spoken by the highly influential panellists and guest speakers. |
