18 months since the very first Paraplanners Powwow took place, it’s fair to say that it's a flourishing not-for-profit movement. But what happens next? This slidedeck sets out our ambitions for Paraplanners Powwows so, no matter who you are, where you are and how you do it, if you’re a paraplanner, you can take part in Powwows.

1. POW
WOW

2. what happens next?

3. Back in February 2013…

4. we had an idea.

5. What if there was an event…

6. that offered a truly independent
and remarkable way…

7. for paraplanners from across
the UK to gather together…

8. and exchange views, learn things,
fix things and to share things?

10. On 19 September 2013 the first ever Paraplanners
Powwow took place in Britain’s rolling countryside,
under open skies, in teepees.

11. But it didn’t end there.

12. Soon paraplanners, inspired by their Powwow
experience, began organising Powwows for themselves…

13. …right across the
country.
Up North
Powwow North West
In The Middle
Down South
North of the Border

14. And on 18 September 2014

16. The second national Paraplanners Powwow
gathered in Britain’s rolling countryside,
under open skies, in teepees.

17. Powwows have proved to be a powerful way for
paraplanners to create their own informal gatherings.

18. In fact, we would describe what’s
happened as more of a ‘movement’.

19. The question is…

20. After this.

21. And these.
Up North
Powwow North West
In The Middle
Down South
North of the Border

22. And this.

23. What happens next?

24. Well…

25. we want to take the idea that beats at the
heart of the Powwow movement…

26. ‘Paraplanners Powwows
are informal gatherings –
designed by paraplanners for
paraplanners – to exchange
views, learn things, fix things
and share things.’

27. and extend the
reach of the Powwows.

28. FROM places

29. FROM places TO spaces

30. And thanks to the Powwow’s
enlightened supporters…

31. 7IM, AXA WeALTH,
JAMES HAY PARTNERSHIP,
PRudential & transact
And thanks to the Powwow’s
enlightened supporters…

32. in addition to staging the third gathering of a
national Paraplanners Powwow in 2015…

33. this year, we’re going to be able do three things.

34. 1. howwows

35. We’re going to introduce a programme of
30-minute live webcasts covering practical tips on
day-to-day paraplanning including techniques,
trends and technology.
1. howwows

36. 2. THE BIG TENT

37. 2. THE BIG TENT
A digital teepee for paraplanners – for online debate and
discussion. We’d like to migrate the forum that’s currently
active at TheParaplanner.com to a spruced-up Paraplanners
Powwow website – that’s if existing users agree.

38. 3. grow your own powwow

39. 3. grow your own powwow
We’re going to make it easier for paraplanners –
wherever they are – to create a mini Powwow of their
own by providing the tools and behind-the-scenes
support, to run a successful Powwow event.

40. So that’s three things that we’re
going to do in 2015…

41. 1. howwows

42. 1. howwows
2. THE BIG TENT

43. 1. howwows
2. THE BIG TENT
3. GROW YOUR OWN POWWOW

44. Hold on…

45. There are four things…

46. 4. this is for everyone

47. 4. this is for everyone
We’re exploring shared ownership of the Paraplanners
Powwow – a not-for-profit cooperative in which, if it’s
possible, all Powwow participants will be entitled to an
equal stake in the Powwows and their future.

48. so that’s four things…

49. 1. howwows

50. 1. howwows
2. THE BIG TENT

51. 1. howwows
2. THE BIG TENT
3. GROW YOUR OWN POWWOW

52. 1. howwows
2. THE BIG TENT
3. GROW YOUR OWN POWWOW
4. this is for everyone

53. because…

54. ‘Paraplanners Powwows
are informal gatherings –
designed by paraplanners for
paraplanners – to exchange
views, learn things, fix things
and share things.’

55. SO NO MATTER…

56. who

57. WHERE

58. or how

59. if you’re a paraplanner…

60. you can take part.

61. sound like a plan?
