FESPA UK have decided to create a networking event purely to support the next generation who are currently working within the graphics and signage industry.
With this in mind, FESPA UK wants to support the next generation in print to grow their confidence, develop their networking skills and be inspired.
So often, younger people view networking as stuffy people in suits walking around and bragging about how awesome they are, but this isn’t a true reflection of networking.
FESPA wants to encourage future business owners, account managers, directors and all team members who want to build a career in print, to see the value of growing their communites.
FESPA UK's networking day for people aged between 18-30 will be held on March 15th at the British Car Museum in the central England town of Warwick and will be filled with inspirational speakers, an opportunity to learn more about member's businesses and their own personal development within print.
It features an interactive business coaching workshop and plenty of opportunities to meet interesting people, making new connections.
Louise Hart, Sales Director at All Print Supplies, and next generation supporter commented: “The APS Sales team are very excited to work with FESPA UK and attend the “Next Generation networking day” we believe in encouraging young creative minds into our industry and ensuring they have the right tools for them succeed in their chosen career for years to come. To be asked to share our knowledge and experience of roll materials over a variety of applications and sectors is a great honour, and we are very much looking forward to meeting the industry professionals of tomorrow. If you are just starting out or even if you have been in the industry a while, we are on hand every step of the way and will offer our full support.”

This event is all about 18-30 year olds that currently work in the print industry.
Networking events normally only apply to Managing Directors, CEO's or head of departments... we recognise that our next generation of printers need to be heard and shout about their talents, alongside other like-minded individuals within the print sector.
No matter what area of print or graphics you are in, this networking day and talks are about meeting new people, growing your connections and expanding your knowledge.
You are the future.... You are the Next Generation!
