IPIA sets date for key networking event
More than 130 print professionals are expected to attend the IPIA Annual Networking Lunch on June 18th in Birmingham
The London-based event will bring together professionals to network, collaborate, and learn
An industry event created by Colin Sinclair McDermott aka The Online Print Coach to help print businesses grow, will take place in London on Tuesday, October 24th, 2023.
The event will include attendees and exhibitors along with seminars and workshops designed to help printers build knowledge and add new value to their business.
Taking place at Aston Lark at One Creechurch Lane, tickets are available for £40.00 which gives attendees access to the full event as well as lunch and refreshments.
Speaking at the event will be Jack Gocher from JGC Marketing, David Bunker MBA from Compass Business Finance, and Sam Armstrong from Make it Happen.
Demos and workshops include “Attracting & Retaining Talent” by Matt Hanley, “Showcasing the Artworker Platform” by Nate Duckworth, and “Unlocking Additional Revenue with Branded Workwear by Jake Adams from Trade Embroidery.
Speaking about the event, McDermott says: “Before my life as an Online Print Coach, when I had my own printing company, one of the main strategies I used to acquire new business and network with existing clients was to run B2B events.
“In fact, I made a separate business out of it. Over the years I ran hundreds of events, from small breakfast networking events for 20 people to National Stadium Expos for 2,500 people.”
Visitors will be able to speak to several businesses and organisations exhibiting at the event, all of which have their own skills and specialities.
Organisations like The Printing Charity, the UK International Sign Association (ISA-UK), and FESPA UK Association will be on hand to give businesses, advice, and helpful resources for areas like wellbeing, sustainability, and recruitment.
Manufacturers and trade suppliers attending include HP, Vivid Laminating Services, Soyang Europe/Josero, Clarity Software, and Tradeprint, which will be on hand to help businesses regarding print services and technology.
Print Monthly and SignLink will also be attending the show as exhibitors and looks forward to the chance to showcase our latest magazines and video content to visitors.
McDermott concludes: “The Print Growth Roadshow is born out of my passion for running events and providing the right tools, education, and support I wish were available to me as a print business owner when I ran my own print company.”
