IP Inclusive Event [Birmingham] – “Food, Glorious Food!”

AN IP INCLUSIVE MIDLANDS NETWORK EVENT IN COLLABORATION WITH IP & ME!

5 – 7 PM on WEDNESDAY, 29 NOVEMBER, 2023 at BIRMINGHAM

Join the IP Inclusive Midlands Network and hosts Marks & Clerk in Birmingham as they celebrate FOOD!

A keynote speech and panel discussion will look at inclusivity in office catering and corporate hospitality, touching on religious and cultural preferences, accommodating food allergies, and a more inclusive approach to alcohol.

Then there will be an opportunity for networking and eating! Please bring along a sample of your favourite food to share with others – preferably something that has cultural significance for you. Please also download and fill in this food card to share its significance to you and its ingredients and allergens, and bring it with you on the day.

WHO’S IT FOR?

This event is for all UK-based IP professionals. We don’t mind where you work, what role you play there or what career level you’re at. You don’t need to be based in the Midlands, either – so long as you can find your way to Birmingham for the evening, you’re welcome to join us!

REGISTRATION

To register please use the Eventbrite link above by Friday 24 November 2023. If you have specific access requirements or dietary requirements for the event, please get in touch and we’ll do what we can to help.

BRING A GUEST!

At IP Inclusive we want to reach as many IP people as possible. Why not invite a guest to join you – someone in a different role or at a different career level, perhaps; an ally or potential ally; or a colleague who’s not yet involved with IP Inclusive? They’ll be most welcome!

COST

This event is free. So are all our resources. That said, we do need money to keep the show on the road, so if you enjoy the event please consider contributing. For more information, visit the IP Inclusive fundraising page.
