Over 200 people are due to attend the event, which will be held at Stationers' Hall on 5 November and features Trinity Mirror chief executive Sly Bailey as the guest speaker.

Stephen Gilbert, Chief Executive of the Printers’ Charitable Corporation, said: This is our major fundraising event of the year and we’re delighted with the response from the industry both in terms of ticket sales and sponsorship, particularly in the current economic climate.

"Money raised by this annual event is used to help people with a print connection who are facing hardship."

Sponsors of this year's event are PrintWeek, Associated Newspapers, Advantage, Baker Tilly, Manor Creative, Polestar and UBS.
