🔮 Shape what we build next
- Roadmap week: Two meetings - one for content and services and one for product - where we look back at the last two months and agree priorities for the next two. Optional, but we really recommend coming. It's the best way to help us prioritise and influence what we work on.
📣 Hear what's new
- Plan✕ News: what we've built across product and services, what's next, and time for questions.
- Public S&T and ODP demo (run by ODP): updates from across Open Digital Planning, including Plan✕ and councils using it.
🎓 Learning sessions
- Plan✕ Academy workshop: a themed workshop to explore a service or a feature. A way to upskill for anyone building, editing or managing services.
- Plan✕ Academy in person: hands-on sessions where you work on your services in the Plan✕ editor, side by side with the Plan✕ team and other councils. Hosted by councils and organised by the Plan✕ team a few times per year.
🚀 Get help with something specific
- Optional Q&A sessions: open drop-ins and Q&A sessions on specific topics such as onboarding, moving payment provider to Stripe and any other relevant theme.
