The Independent Print Industries Association (IPIA) is inviting members of the UK print community to its annual networking lunch, which will take place on 19 June. The venue for the event will be the Marco Pierre White restaurant atop The Cube Hotel in Birmingham.
Designed to foster collaboration and promote industry growth, the event offers a relaxed setting for professionals across the print supply chain to connect with each other. Guests will rotate tables between courses to maximise networking opportunities, with additional support from the IPIA team.
“The IPIA Annual Networking Lunch is built on a foundation of genuine hospitality and meaningful return on your time,” said Alasdair Browne, IPIA chair and managing director of Abbot Print. “From curated introductions to lively, productive conversations, we’re committed to making every moment count.”

The lunch begins with informal networking and drinks at midday, followed by a three-course meal with drinks. After lunch Mr Browne will speak about the association’s latest initiatives and share insights into emerging market trends.
More than one hundred industry professionals are expected to attend, including printers, buyers, suppliers, designers, agencies, and technology providers. After the event concludes there will be an informal meet-up at the nearby Gas Street Social.
IPIA general manager Brendan Perring said: “We know that some of the best creative conversations and working relationships begin in a relaxed environment. That’s why we’re bringing together a cross-section of the industry – all in one room.”
