Executive director of Girls Who Print
milestones like Print HERstory Month in March and our online International Women’s Day Conference. We’re also increasing activity on the new member platform to create more opportunities for engagement and professional growth. With the industry’s support – both financially and through active participation – we will implement workforce development initiatives and student outreach programmes to secure a vibrant future for the printing industry.
Where do you see the print industry in the next five to 10 years? In the metaverse! Although it might seem like a far-off concept, the metaverse represents a growing frontier where digital and physical goods intersect. Everything created or purchased in the digital world will require the printing industry’s expertise to produce and deliver physical versions. Printers need to prepare now by learning about the companies shaping the metaverse, identifying ways to collaborate, and offering relevant products and services. Those who take proactive steps today will be ready when these opportunities arrive – and it’s coming, don’t doubt it. There is too much money involved and an
exponential amount to be made. Think about all the companies you would have invested in if you could go back to when this thing called the World Wide Web launched. The Metaverse is that and more.
What role do women have in this vision? I hope women will be at the forefront! Women’s natural abilities to assess long-term value, strategise, and multi-task make them ideally suited for leadership in emerging opportunities like the metaverse. Those who seize this chance early on, bring value to their businesses, and lead with intention will pave the way for others to follow.
