Planners' Tea Time
Planners' Tea Time is a casual event for planners around the world to meet and talk. The event is held virtually on Google Meet.
Network Beyond Virtual Tea-time Chats
To support building relationships beyond our virtual tea-time chats, we welcome you to sign up for the Planners' Tea Time Network - an open Google Sheet where participants share their names, emails, and a brief description of their interests. The Google Sheet is only accessible to people who have joined the network. All are welcome.
