Celebrating Women In Toys

by | 25 May 2023

What a privilege to be invited to host and present a keynote at the Women In Toys event for The Australian Toy Association which took place at the 2023 Toy Hobby & Licensing Fair in Melbourne this March (2023)

Here’s a sneak peak into the action from behind the scenes!

It was a terrific platform to celebrate the talented members of the Toy & Licensing communities and the diverse range of career opportunities this industry provides.

This event featured an incredible line up of panellist including Sandra Ebbott — Founder of Mizzie The Kangaroo, Angie Tutt from the LEGO Group, Anni Atkinson from Warner Bros. Entertainment and Jo Pascoe from NBC Universal. Each speaker shared their different stories of how their careers have evolved.

Congratulation to the ATA for this supportive initiative.
