The Paraplanners’ Assembly enables paraplanning practitioners to gather together to learn things, fix things and share things – in person and online. Want to join in?
If you’re a paraplanner, the Assembly belongs to you
Back in September 2013, 66 paraplanners decided to get together in tepees on a farm in Northamptonshire. It was the first meeting of its kind in the UK – and the beginning of a flourishing professional movement.
Today, more than 3,000 paraplanning practitioners follow the Assembly. 8,800 have taken part in 175 Assembly events. And the Assembly’s discussion board – The Big Tent – has hosted 1,530 discussion threads (and counting).
The secret of the Assembly’s success? People like you who – no matter where you are on your paraplanning journey – want to learn, fix and share too. Ready to get started?
