Designed to spark opportunity, strengthen relationships, and unlock new collaborations across the print industry, the IPIA will be hosting its Annual Networking Lunch on June 18th.
Held at the Marco Pierre White Restaurant in Birmingham, the event will bring together a dynamic mix of printers, print buyers, suppliers, agencies, industry advocates and technology developers.
By bringing together the full spectrum of the industry in one room, the IPIA is actively seeking to break down barriers, encouraging knowledge sharing, and helping businesses discover smarter, more collaborative ways of working.
“There’s something incredibly powerful about getting the right people in the same room. The Networking Lunch is where conversations turn into ideas, and ideas turn into action. We’re passionate about creating an environment where our members and the wider industry can connect openly, share knowledge, and build the kind of relationships that drive real progress,” says Alasdair Browne, Chair of the IPIA.
With sumptuous food, drinks on tap and great company, the event features curated introductions, structured table rotations, and a relaxed setting. Set high above the city and just a short walk from Birmingham New Street station, it offers sweeping skyline views and a vibrant backdrop for an afternoon of where new opportunities can be discovered.
“Collaboration is the key to growth in today’s print landscape, but it only happens when people connect. This event is all about encouraging connections - whether that’s between disciplines, businesses, or ways of thinking - and creating space for honest, valuable conversations. When you bring together the right mix of people, the opportunities are endless,” says Peter Horwood, Chair of the IPIA’s Networking and Collaboration Committee.
The event begins with informal networking from 12:00, followed by lunch at 13:00, and concludes at 16:00 - with plenty of opportunity to continue discussions beyond the formal programme at Gas Street Social bar.
Whether you are looking to grow your network, gain fresh insight, or explore new partnerships, the IPIA Annual Networking Lunch delivers one of the most effective and enjoyable ways to connect in our industry.
