Session Details

According to recent data, women make up only 31% of the print industry with even fewer in manufacturing and production roles. Why is this, is this figure rising, and how can we attract more women into careers in the print industry? As the industry faces challenges such as an ageing workforce and difficulties attracting new talent, it’s more important than ever to address this statistic. So how do we go about this? 

Hosted by Karis Copp, Managing Director of Karis Copp Media, a B2B PR and comms agency specialising in the print industry, this session will hear from a panel of women who’ve made successful careers in various areas of the industry, and draw on their own experiences of how they came to be in print and their experiences of working in a traditionally male-dominated industry. Together, the panel will explore why there is still an imbalance within print, and how we can tip the scales.
