Printing SA will host its Central Chamber ‘Printspired’ – Women Changing the Future of Print event on 30 August 2024. Tickets are still available, book now. Sign Africa, Africa Print and Modern Marketing are proud media partners of the event.
The successful Cape Chamber event was held on 1 August in Durbanville and was well attended by numerous key players in the industry. Attendees left feeling inspired and motivated by the panellists and speakers.
Printing SA continue to reinvent the ’Women in Print’ series as it has become a trusted platform for women not only in the printing, packaging, signage and visual communications sector but across all allied industries, affording the opportunity for women to be celebrated, recognised, inspired, motivated and encouraged to continue aspiring for greatness in every aspect of their professional, personal and social philanthropic journeys.
Printing SA has a stellar line of speakers this year and aim to take perspectives from the youth who are forging careers in media as influencers, broadcasters, presenters, designers, advertisers and innovators, with a view to shedding light into how the industry can best support their endeavours in being cognisant of their plight and generating solutions that will ensure print and digital media’s relationship is viewed in a positive light, as the sector continues to be inundated by false messages of greenwashing. Printing SA say ‘Print is not dead, it is indeed evolving!’
Fashion Extravaganza
As always, Women in Print would not be complete without showcasing young talent in an exclusive fashion show segment that will see proteges of Sonwabile Ndamase, the architect of the Madiba shirt, showcasing their garments in an inspired runway show at all events. This year’s fashion show is significant because Ndamase will be unveiling his 30 years of the Madiba Shirt Legacy collection and reveal an all new leisure line, which will be showcased at the New York Fashion International Technikon in Septemer 2024. The FIT NYC boasts well-known alumni which include fashion designers Norma Kamali, Calvin Klein and Michael Kors. Printing SA’s guests will be the first to see this line being revealed during the Women in Print series.
