About this Event
Class is in session—Chicago style. 🎓📓
Detroit Planner Association is heading to Chicago, and we're bringing a little DPA University fun with us!
Join us for an intimate planner social designed for connection, community, and a little collegiate-inspired fun.
Whether you've connected with DPA before or you're meeting us for the first time, stop by, meet members of the Detroit Planner Association, learn more about our planner community, connect with fellow planner lovers, and experience a few DPA University surprises along the way.
This isn't your typical class. Come ready to mingle, talk planners and stationery, make new connections, and have a little fun university style.
And don't be late for enrollment!
The first 10 guests to RSVP will receive an exclusive DPA keepsake created especially for our Chicago Campus and designed by The QB Project.
