Guests at the Power 100 launch, including the majority of print's power brokers, were treated to a run-down of this year's top 10, culminating in the unveiling of the premier person in print for 2010.

The move to a new venue in the city, as opposed to the traditional PrintWeek HQ in Hammersmith, mirrored changes in the format of the Power 100 itself, including a new 'Top Trumps' theme.

Commenting on the event, St Ives chief executive Patrick Martell said: "It was really good to see such a broad and interesting range of people. The atmosphere seemed to be quite upbeat and positive, and there was a lot of enthusiasm among the attendees."

Nancy Janes, UK country manager at HP Indigo and a new entrant in this year's Power 100, said she was "honoured" to attend the Stationers' Hall event and praised the knowledge and passion of her peers in the UK print industry.

More than £800 was raised for the Printing Charity at last night's event, where attendees were invited to donate £20 in exchange for an advance copy of this week's PrintWeek, containing the full run-down of the Power 100.
