Women's Networking Lunch
In 2024, we were thrilled to bring together another panel of extraordinary women in the print and packaging industries.
During the lunch, we heard personal experiences in our proud sectors and thoughts on the importance of mentoring and how to recruit and retain female talent to continue to drive growth and diversity within print and packaging.
The CONNECT WNL is not intended to be another industry women's group; it is intended to be time spent together at CONNECT to share our learnings and experiences so we can continue to recruit and retain female talent in print and packaging.
