IPIA to host Spring Networking Lunch in June

The Spring Networking Lunch held by the Independent Print Industries Association (IPIA) will see industry members come together in Birmingham on June 14th, 2023.

The event is the first physical meeting held by IPIA this year and the association says is part of its wider mission to “energise the print industry”.

Dedicated to stimulating new economic activity for the print industry, the IPIA hosts a series of events throughout the year to bring print suppliers, buyers, designers, and more all together under one roof to meet and network.

Hosted at the impressive sky restaurant Orelle in the centre of Birmingham, the Spring Networking Lunch will see guests enjoy a glass of fizz on arrival, a French cuisine three-course lunch, and a networking introduction service.

“We recognise that everyone is busy and choosing to take a day out of the business to attend networking events means the day must deliver an ROI,” says Charles Rogers, Chairman of the IPIA. “We endeavour to ensure that we know who is of interest to those attending in advance of the lunch, and effect as many introductions as possible on the day, creating the opportunity for that ROI to become a reality.”

Matthew Ruff, Chair of the IPIA Events Subcommittee, adds: “Last year’s event was a huge success, largely down to the structure of the event and providing the opportunity to meet new connections and share experiences of the market.

“Not only are our events great for meeting potential new clients, but they are also perfect for finding future collaborators and maintaining existing relationships.”

The event will kick off with welcome drinks at 12pm with guests being seated for lunch at 1pm. In order to give guests the opportunity to speak with as many people as possible, the seating plan will be switched up between courses and the day will wrap up at 4.30pm.

Tickets can be purchased via the IPIA website with member tickets costing £114 and non-members £176, both inc VAT.
