Industry Partnership Opportunities – 2026
Offering you greater ROI
through increased direct contact with our full and associate members throughout the year
ACPME is the premier cross-industry network for professionals leading in-house print, media, creative, and mailing operations.
Currently, ACPME brings together internal service teams from HE and FE to share best practices, drive innovation, and elevate the strategic value of in-plant operations.
We provide members with access to peer collaboration, industry insights, benchmarking tools, professional development and to events with commercial partners like you.
See Partnership Levels and 2026 introductory rates below
Building a stronger, better future – together
ACPME want to partner with you to increase our membership
We intend to expand to include internal service teams from government, charities and not-for-profit organisations.
We know, from discussions with organisations like the IPIA and The Printing Charity, that there are many UK in-plant operations that don’t fit with associations geared towards wholly-commercial enterprise. Like us, they can be seen as competitors. Like us, they need your products, your services and your support. Let’s build together.
The In-house Creative & Print Conference 2026 – Hosted by ACPME
31 May to 2 June 2026 at the Glasgow Westerwood Hotel
With your help, we hope to get as many internal service teams from government, charities and not-for-profit organisations to our Conference as possible. We are confident that once they see the many benefits ACPME offers in-person they will
want to join. That’s increased networking opportunities and potential future business.
In Glasgow, Elite Partners will benefit from:
-
-
- A prominent Conference exhibition stand
- 3 exhibitor passes
- Professional digital photo of conference stand with delegates
- 3 tickets to each social events (providing accommodation booked with ACPME)
- Awards sponsorship
- Logo in Awards Dinner menu and Awards presentation
- Advertising in the Conference Programme
- Opportunity to present a time-tabled practical demonstration with delegates within the exhibition are

It’s no longer Conference, Conference, Conference for our partners
The May/June Annual Conference has long been the highlight of the ACPME calendar – a fantastic event, but with fewer networking or sales opportunities than you’d like.
Until now, your access to our members has been limited. We want to change that in several ways.
The ACPME Members’ Forum
This might sound modest, but it’s massive.
This is where ACPME members hang out. It’s where they share Job Descriptions, Tender Specifications, Organisation Charts, MIS & W2P Solutions, Creative & Brand Guidelines, Plant Lists, Policies, SLAs… and where they have their discussions.
We’re offering a limited number of Elite Partners the chance of a dedicated space on the Forum – with exclusive two-way communication with all of our full and associate members. You will have your own page with unlimited posts enabling you to promote your innovations, services and events.
Engagement throughout the year
Our Elite Partners will benefit from:
-
-
- Opportunity to meet with the ACPME Board for information sharing & strategy development
- Advert/advertorial in ACPME membership publication
– 2 x printed, 3 x e-newsletters (details tbc) - Link/logo on our website homepage
- Promotion as a Headline Elite Partner
- Use of an ‘Elite Partners’ logo to add to your emails and social media posts.
