Women’s business forum to launch this month

Inforum Group, a company which will host forums for business women to assist them in achieving their personal and professional goals, will launch in Sydney later this month with a breakfast event based on new media and money.   

The announcement:

Tuesday October 4, 2011 –

Inforum group is a new company started by co-directors Jenny Garber and Fiona Coogan. After successful careers in marketing and public relations, Jenny and Fiona have created a company built around a forum concept, bringing to women in business experiences that will add value to their working lives, and assist them in achieving both their personal and professional goals.

‘The idea for INFORUM came from a conversation Fiona and I were having about areas such as technology and finance where change is constant, and the need for our generation to keep educating ourselves with relevant and updated information. On researching this we discovered it’s not only our generation that want and need regular updates, so we decided to bring together specialists from a range of industry sectors and create the opportunity for women in business, and women who want access to knowledge, to attend inspiring forums with the experts!’ Jenny Garber – Co-Director INFORUM group.

INFORUM group launches on Wednesday 19th October at a breakfast event, NEW MEDIA & MONEY MATTERS, being held at The Ivy Room, George Street, 7am – 9am with 2 keynote speakers:
