Spring Networking Lunch - Friday 16th March date added: 23/1/2012
We are returning to Birmingham, at the heart of the motorway and rail network, and by popular demand to The Bank Restaurant, in cosmopolitan, Brindley Place.
With Easter approaching, and to 'egg you on' to attend each guest will
receive a crème egg kindly sponsored by Cadbury¹s who will be providing a
humorous insight into their in-house print room!
Most long-lasting partnerships start with a face-to-face meeting and at this
lunch, as on previous occasions, you will be served quality food, drink
quality wine, and have the chance to meet some quality people.
We will be following the usual format: IPIA Council Members will be on hand
to greet and introduce you, with drinks at the bar, from 12.15pm. Lunch
follows at 1.00pm. We will again be maximising networking opportunities by
rotating the seating arrangements during the meal, so you will have the
opportunity to be in good company throughout! After the meal we will adjourn
to the bar again and you are welcome to stay for as long as you wish! (The
last guests left at 8.00pm last time!)
We had a great turnout last March with over 90 guests attending, and some
serious business was instigated. Here are some of the many comments made
about the lunch; 'Many thanks for a fantastic afternoon on Friday. I think
it was the best industry 'do' that I have been to in some years.' 'IPIA
staff worked well to introduce me to new contacts when they knew it was my
first visit to such an event.' 'My £45 lunch ticket turned in a £40K per
annum contract that is a great ROI'
To reserve your place simply call 0844 9020214
