Massive industry support for the Print21 Great ANZ IPEX BBQ

2 March 2006

The following companies have committed as sponsors of the upcoming Great ANZ BBQ at Ipex:

  • Agfa
  • Canon Australia
  • CPI Group
  • EFI
  • FujiFilm GSA
  • Fuji Xerox
  • Heidelberg ANZ
  • HP-Indigo/Currie Group (also coach transport)
  • Kodak Graphic Communications Group


    • Canon has put up a 7.1 megapixel digital camera, plus a photo printer (pictured right) as door prize for a lucky guest!

    Bookings have been received from expats working as far afield as Canada, Switzerland and the UK as well as Australian and New Zealand-based IPEX visitors. The British Printing Industry Federation's deputy chief executive, Cicely Brown has indicated she will attend as our esteemed guest and we are expecting a few of the IPEX organizers and owners, Picon, to be there too.

    At this rate the 200-guest capacity of the venue, the 16th century Blue Boar Inn at Temple Grafton near Stratford, will quickly fill so all IPEX visitors and group organisers are encouraged to reserve their tickets now by emailing: IPEXBBQ@print21.com.au.au.

    Tickets are $50 per head +GST and may be paid for by secure credit card transaction through Print21. This is inclusive of transport (from IPEX and to Stratford, Warwick and Birmingham), fine and plentiful food, entertainment and drinks.

    As our Court Jester Kevin Burke, pictured right, says “Ye'd be a motely fool to miss this merrie jape!”

    At previous IPEXs, latecomers have been able to buy tickets in the UK but this looks increasingly unlikely if a sell-out situation is achieved, so please reserve remaining tickets now to avoid disappointment! Tickets will be personalized by Fuji-Xerox (and Kodak for the drink coupons), so we'll need names of those attending.
