Howwow Online: Open Mic - bring your best questions!
By Paraplanners' Assembly
What's it all about?
Howwows are generally about tackling one topic in depth for an hour. That's great for the technical stuff, but what about all those niggly questions that you've got?
Because it's tough to tell what will be going with Brexit, budgets etc - we thought this is the perfect time for an 'open mic' Howwow. In true Powwow unconference style - anything can be discussed, just turn up and we'll discuss what we've got on, what we're thinking about, what's worrying us. To kick it all off, we'll cover:
- What's the trickiest case you've worked on recently and how did you deal with it?
- How do you manage your workflow?
- What's the best source for CPD?
- What top trick/tip can you share?
Meet the Howwow panel

How does this Howwow Online thing work?
Save your spot by clicking the button on the top right. It's free, the only thing you have to do is register an account.
On the day of the Howwow just sign back in here. But, we'll also send a reminder email ten minutes before it starts.
On the tech side of things. Viewing the Howwow on browsers such as Chrome or Firefox work best. Headphones are a good idea if you share an office, plus the ability to type so that you can ask questions via the chat feature.
What if I can't make it to the Howwow?
Just sign-in and view a recording of the session whenever it suits you.
Can I ask questions?
Yes! As many as you can throw at our panel. Plus, if you can't make the Howwow, book a spot and add a question beforehand, the panel will then answer it during the event.
Can I suggest a Howwow topic or be on the panel?
Absolutely, the more the merrier. Drop us an email.
Are there more Online Howwows?
You bet your bottom dollar there are, and on lots of useful topics for paraplanners. Watch past and/or register for any upcoming events here.
There isn't an upcoming Howwow listed, when will the next one be?
Sorry about that. We're just confirming the topics and putting together an A-Team panel for it. We do aim for every last Wednesday of the month, at lunchtime (1-2pm for most normal folk), so you can join in while eating your sandwich.
Sometimes we'll throw a curve ball and change the date. That's because we want to bring you AMAZING panel members, and they just can't make Wednesdays. It's as simple as that.
Powwows vs Howwows - what's the difference?
Here's the Powwow lingo. Powwows are informal gatherings designed by paraplanners for paraplanners to exchange views, learn things, fix things and share things.
Got that? But there's more. Where Powwow gatherings are on a number of topics, Howwows are for those times when we want to focus on ONE topic in particular and, in depth.
Sometimes we meet in person, and sometimes we just like a good chinwag online. Enter Howwows Online.
You can find out more about Powwows or see a full list of all events here.
Actually, my question was on something else
Ooh, we like new questions. Just pop it in an email and send it on its merry way to [email protected].
One last question, what do you do with my details when I sign up?
Crikey, another good question! We’ll use your details to keep you posted on Powwow happenings. From time to time, this will include activities that our supporters are participating in that we think you’ll find interesting. We share information at an aggregate level with our supporters every now and then.
