The IPIA’s first physical networking event of 2024 will be held at Orelle in Birmingham
The Independent Print Industries Association (IPIA) has announced details for its 2024 Annual Networking Lunch which will take place at Orelle restaurant in Birmingham.
The event will take place on June 19th and promises to be a opportunity for attendees to foster connections and ‘drive momentum’ within the print industry as the IPIA looks to “invigorate’ and re-energise” the print economy.
Included in the event will be welcome drinks, a three-course lunch with wine, beer, or soft drinks, and a host of networking opportunities and presentations from industry professionals.
A special presentation will be given by Rob Cross from Micropress Printers about how the company has adapted and grown to critical industry trends.
Matthew Ruff, chair of the IPIA Events Subcommittee, says: "Our Annual Networking Lunch isn't just another industry event; it's a catalyst for growth and collaboration in the print sector. We've meticulously crafted an experience that fosters meaningful connections, sparks innovative ideas, and drives expansion.”
In recent years the IPIA has put particular emphasis on the development of its industry events due to the networking, idea sharing, and collaborations that can be generated.
Charles Rogers, IPIA chair, comments: “At the heart of the IPIA Annual Networking Lunch is a commitment to hospitality and ROI.
“We recognise taking a day out of business means the event must be a valuable investment of time, this is why we ensure we know who is of interest to you when signing up to the lunch. From tailored introductions to engaging conversations, we're dedicated to making your experience both enjoyable and rewarding.”
