FESPA UK launches VIP Summit ticket competition for young professionals

FESPA UK, an association for the UK’s print, signage, and graphics community, has joined forces with Compass Business Finance to offer five young people free tickets to its 2026 Summit event.

FESPA UK has focused its efforts in recent years to empowering the latest generation of print and signage professionals. This has included developing and strengthening its Next Generation Community, a free dedicated online space for young and emerging professionals in the print and signage sectors.

FESPA UK’s annual Summit, which will take place on Thursday November 26th at The Oxford Belfry hotel and spa in Thame, brings together business leaders, suppliers, and industry experts for a day geared towards insight, inspiration, and conversation.

This year, FESPA UK and Compass Business Finance have teamed up to give away five fully funded VIP places to The Summit 2026, including an evening dinner and networking event and bed and breakfast accommodation.

The offer is open to any young professional working in print, signage, graphics, wide-format, labels, screen printing, textiles, vehicle wrapping, or any related sector – and entrants do not need to be a FESPA UK member to apply.

Those wishing to apply need to like a post about the competition from Molly Jackson, brand and marketing manager for FESPA UK, which can be found on LinkedIn.

Entrants then need to join the FESPA UK Community Platform, which can be done for free. Once on the platform, they must go to the pinned post on the platform’s discussions page and tell FESPA UK what content, events, support, or opportunities they would like to see more of from its Next Generation community.

The five winners of the competition will receive a fully funded place at The Summit 2026, including dinner and overnight accommodation.
