Due to the current situation (Covid-19) around the world, all events have been canceled in the UK until further notice, if you would like more information from the IPIA and future events going on then please do sign up to our the IPIA E-Newsletter.
The goal for us with each Member is to provide you with a new pipeline of customers to tap into and expand your professional business network. This is both from within the membership, but more importantly from outside the membership that are relevant to buying your products and services.
This is achieved through using our comprehensive database to ensure we proactively bring relevant businesses to events and exhibitions to meet your team face-to-face in a professional yet relaxed atmosphere, where they can build a personal rapport with them.
Fundamentally people buy from people, and this truth is what underpins how we support our members to grow their businesses.
IPIA Events
The IPIA runs a series of conferences, business networking sessions and seminars throughout the year that culminate in our annual Meet the Trade Buyer event and Associate Member supplier exhibition.
This is followed in the evening by our highly acclaimed Gala Dinner, which is followed by live entertainment and the Recognising Excellence Awards, where the hard work of IPIA Members is celebrated.

Marketing Industry Conferences & Events
The Print Industry is technically capable, innovative and clever; print businesses are masters of production and of course, of putting ink on paper. However, the education of our market is something that the industry struggles with, as most production led print companies have limited marketing resources.
The explosion of digital communications and the apparent lower costs associated are a real factor in driving print to become a price driven commodity. Print has to fight back, building relationships based on solving key challenges for customers and demonstrating the intrinsic value of print’s physical presence.
To aid in this endeavour, the IPIA opens up opportunities for Members to participate in marketing industry events. Below you can find out more information about the next event and reviews of previous ones.
