Women in Signs and Graphics announces second live networking event

Women in Signs and Graphics UK has announced its second live networking event this October, which will take place in Market Harborough.

Following its inaugural event last year, Women in Signs and Graphics UK has announced it will host its second live event on October 14th, in partnership with the British Signs and Graphics Association (BSGA) and sponsored by trade-only signage supplier, Very Displays.

The autumn event will see women from across the signage industry come together with the goal of learning practical marketing tips, networking, and being inspired.

The event will be the first since the group announced a media partnership with the BSGA in a bid to develop their events further and support more women in the industry. It will take place from 10am to 4pm at Very Displays’ premises in Market Harborough.

The first in-person event saw over 30 women from across the signage industry gather at the Doncaster site of event sponsor, Project Display.

The keynote brunch included a workshop led by life coach and positive psychologist, Kate Grosvenor, who provided real-world advice on how to navigate challenging situations in the workplace.

The 2026 event will provide a space for women to share personal stories, experiences, and insights with other women from across the industry. The day will feature an interactive marketing seminar led by the marketing team at Very Displays, providing practical ideas to help attendees strengthen their brand and grow their businesses.

Izabella Ivanovici, owner of INV Recruitment and co-founder of Women in Signs and Graphics, says: “Following the success of our inaugural event, we're excited to bring the community together once again for a day of networking, learning, and collaboration.

“Women in Signs and Graphics is all about connecting the women in the industry, sharing experiences, inspiring one another, learning, and developing. We can't wait to welcome everyone on Wednesday October 14th in Market Harborough.”

Women in Signs and Graphics was founded in 2019 by Ivanovici and UK & Ireland sales manager for Inkcups, Sarah Fenna. It’s core goal is to inspire, encourage, and champion women in their respective industry.

The group aims to create a supportive community of like-minded individuals, open doors to new opportunities for women working in the sector, and to ensure the next generation understands the career paths available to women in signs and graphics.

Kirsty Corcoran, marketing manager at Very Displays, adds: “We're really excited to be hosting this year's Women in Sign and Graphics event. It's a great opportunity to bring together so many inspiring women from across the industry, to share ideas, hear some great talks, and make new connections. We can't wait to welcome everyone to Very Displays.”
