Our first three events in 2025 (Polokwane, Durban, and Cape Town) were proudly sponsored by FP&M SETA, Printing SA, and GSW. Women shared their stories, connected with suppliers, and left empowered to overcome industry challenges. Men are welcome too — our goal is collective upliftment.

Attendees shared their challenges and also highlighted the need for more training opportunities and workshops where they can learn more about how to run successful businesses as well as industry trends. Suppliers at the event were also able to connect with women who needed guidance in their businesses and offer advice and services.
