The BPMA regional events being held across the country in March and April are gathering pace as many members are now signing up.

Gordon Glenister commented “ We want to provide in one day so much content on best practice around compliance and service level standards  – a constant challenge for our industry.  We have produced guides from both our legal partners at Croners and Intertek on product safety.  Each event will have 3 keynote speakers. 

The BPMA held its annual festive lunch on the 16th December at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London with over 120 guests present.  New BPMA chairman, Graeme Smith in his opening address, remarked on the success of the BPMA show earlier in the year and the new collaboration with Sourcing City with Merchandise World being good for the industry. 

In a (marketing) world that becomes more digital all the time, the communications with customers often become fleeting and less tangible. However, trade visitors, who attend the HAPTICA® live ’17 in Bonn/Germany will experience that marketing can also be sensual and concrete: On March 22, 2017 the “Experience of Haptic Advertising” at the World Conference Center Bonn will present marketing tools that are impossible not to feel and that convey long-lasting advertising messages to the target group.

The PAGE group launched its 2016 catalogue to members before its 2016 conference and awards dinner where it celebrated its distributors.

The awards dinner was attended by 150 dinner guests including the top UK business gift suppliers and distributors.
