Delegates at the 2025 IPIA Annual Conference will collaborate and share ideas as they explore fresh growth opportunities ‘Beyond the Margin’

The Independent Print Industries Association (IPIA) will look to discuss the critical issues of business growth, opportunity and market challenges within the industry as is set to hold its Annual Conference.

To be held the Manufacturing Technology Centre in Coventry on August 28, the event’s theme is “Beyond the Margin – charting new territory for growth, adaptation and commercial success in print.”

Alasdair Browne, chair of the IPIA, said: “This year’s theme reflects a pressing need for our industry to look past the immediate pressures of day‑to‑day operation, fighting to protect profit margins on existing work, and consider where future growth will come from.

“The conference brings together in-depth research, practical case studies and expert perspectives to help print businesses navigate those wider opportunities.”

Delegates will hear from leaders across the print, mail, finance, economics and sustainability sectors – each sharing business intelligence and analysis that reveal routes to adaptation and commercial success.

Together these sessions will explore significant growth markets for print, the power of personalisation and mail, how to advocate for print and paper’s sustainability, the UK’s economic outlook, as well as the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence.

Peter Horwood, chair of the IPIA’s Networking and Collaboration Committee, said: “Our focus is on creating a space where people can meet, exchange ideas and find potential partners without the pressure.

“The day allows plenty of time for conversations alongside the speaker sessions, so whether you’re new to IPIA events or have attended before, it’s a chance to connect with peers and explore what’s next for your business.”

Tickets to the conference are on sale. Now. The day will start at 9am and will contain four conference sessions, breaks for networking and lunch, before concluding with a drinks reception at 4pm.
