BCFA & IDA networking and social events provide our members the opportunity to gain valuable information on the current market, meet like-minded business people from within our industry, the end users, designers, hotel owners and non-competitive suppliers at professionally organised events at prestigious venues around the UK. These events vary from the more informal relaxed evening events such as the Summer Networking Party to the Annual Luncheon held at the Dorchester. The Summer event attracted 200+ guests and the Annual Luncheon regularly draws over 500+ guests including fellow members and their clients. We also offer regional events, subject to the demands of our membership.
The IDA also hold 'Designer Dinners' which are by invitation only to members. The programme for 2012 is complete and the schedule of events for 2013 will be published in the new year.
