"Women are up and coming - also in the print media industry":
Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) is responding to this
trend with the international networking meeting "Women in Print" on
the occasion of drupa 2012 from May 3 to 16 in Düsseldorf. The
meeting will take place on May 6 at the Heidelberg "Sternberg
Lounge" in the direct vicinity of Hall 1, where Heidelberg will be
showcasing its innovations.
The event offers women executives from the print media
industry a common platform to share ideas and exchange experiences.
Key note speaker Monika Schulz-Strelow, Chairwoman of the
"Women on Board" initiative, FidAR e.V., Berlin, will give a
lecture on "Women and their stories".
Two printing experts will report on their varied experience
in the international print media industry: Susan Heaney, Managing
Director of Heaneys Performers in Print, Queensland, Australia, and
Laura Lawton-Forsyth, President and owner of family-run Lawton
Printing and File-EZ Folder located in Spokane, USA.
Helpful suggestions from other industry sectors come from
Andrea Riedmann, Partner Audit KPMG AG, who will deliver insight
into KPMG's diversity strategy. Antonia Gerke, actress and artist,
will round off the series of lectures by picturing the trend in art
and culture.
Adriana Nuneva, Senior Vice President at Heidelberg and
responsible for Global Marketing, Corporate Communications, the
Print Media Academy and Consulting, appreciates the initiative:
"Networking makes it easy to establish and deepen contacts, to
exchange experiences and to discuss business ideas. In difficult
situations, communication with women in similar business positions
might even help to make the right decision. Most of all, young
women executives can benefit from expertise and support of
experienced mentors."
