Melissa Confalone of Fraser to Co-Host 10th Annual Event with Carol C. Cannata
Our 10th Annual Women Influencers Brunch will be held on Friday, November 14, 2025, the day after our 40th Anniversary Gala, and will celebrate our 2025 Women Influencers: Mary Hart, head of U.S. Commercial Channel Print at HP; Jennifer Healy, VP, Business Development & Experience, Dealer Partner Channel at Ricoh North America; and Sarah Henderson, Regional Director at NEXERA/MPS Monitor. This year’s sponsors include Milner, Inc., Distribution Management, GreatAmerica Financial Services, Konica Minolta Business Solutions, U.S.A., and Xerox.
Marking ten years of the event is a thrilling milestone for everyone at The Cannata Report. To help us celebrate this year, Melissa Confalone, president of Fraser Advanced Information Systems and one of our 2023 Women Influencers, will join Carol C. Cannata, SVP, client services and events, as co-host of the Brunch.
“This year, we are not only spotlighting our 2025 Women Influencers, but also the many talented women who are shaping the office technology industry today,” said CJ Cannata, president and CEO. “Mary, Jennifer, and Sarah each represent a unique perspective and leadership style, yet they share a common drive to inspire change and foster innovation.”
Added Carol C. Cannata, “It’s a pleasure to co-host with Melissa, a highly respected dealer principal in the industry. Our Women Influencers Brunch has become a cornerstone of our commitment to showcasing exceptional women whose contributions continue to elevate and transform our industry. This year’s event will be a very special one as we celebrate ten years of our Women Influencers franchise and the many strides that women have made in the last decade in the industry.”
Carol C. Cannata and Confalone will guide the Brunch’s program and lead a roundtable discussion with the 2025 Women Influencers. Inspiration was the central theme of The Cannata Report‘s July/August Women Influencers cover story, and the discussion will further explore how the women use inspiration to lead their careers and their teams and co-workers to achieve goals and attain success.
“Our Women Influencers Brunch has grown into one of the most anticipated gatherings during our Annual’ Awards Week,’ bringing together leaders across the office technology channel to recognize, honor, and promote the achievements and impact of women executives throughout the industry,” said CJ Cannata.
The Cannata Report‘s 2025 Women Influencers Brunch will be held at The Madison Hotel in Morristown, New Jersey. Women who attend our 40th Anniversary Awards & Charities Gala are invited to the Brunch and can contact CJ Cannata for further information.
