Connect - Inspire - Amaze

Wednesday, June 19th
Orelle, Birmingham

Generate new business in a room with a view

The IPIA is committed to stimulating new economic activity for the print industry, and that is why it develops a series of events throughout the year to bring together a cross section of printers, print buyers, suppliers, designers, marketing agencies and technology developers – so they can make connections that could lead to new business.

On June 19th 2024, you will be able to do just that by joining the IPIA for its first physical networking event of the year.

Join us for a delightful experience at the sky restaurant Orelle in Birmingham. Your ticket includes a welcoming glass of bubbly or two, a sumptuous three-course lunch accompanied by a selection of wine, beer, or soft drinks, as well as access to our networking introduction service.

Located just a brief stroll from both Birmingham New Street and Birmingham Snow Hill stations, our venue offers breathtaking views from the city’s tallest building. Immerse yourself in the vibrant city centre atmosphere while enjoying exquisite cuisine.

Connect - Inspire - Amaze

The IPIA are consummate networkers – we love to nurture connectivity and watch the magic start. We also know that some of the best creative conversations and working relationships are sparked in a relaxed, informal environment – so that is what we create.

Everyone who attends an IPIA networking event is made to feel very welcome – so if you are new to us, rest assured you will be well looked after.

We commence with welcome drinks at 12:00 and are seated for lunch at 13:00 – to maximise everyone’s conversations, we move people from table to table between courses. We conclude the networking lunch at 16:00, leaving guests feeling fulfilled, content, and freshly inspired. Those with extra time to spare are welcome to then continue networking and socialising at Henman and Cooper opposite the venue.

So, if you want to meet new people and grow your network, or simply catch up with some
friendly faces in a great atmosphere, please come and enjoy the finest networking available in our industry.
