SPIN membership is free, and open to all planners with 10+ years' of experience. We gather exclusively on Facebook. Suppliers and Sourcing Specialists may join as year-round sponsors.
-Cool factoid:
We are the world's largest network of senior-level planners.
In October 2008, when SPIN Founder, Shawna Suckow, CSP, CMP, started the network, she felt that something was missing in her career, and wanted a forum to have a different level of conversation with peers who were at a similar experience level. There wasn’t any other place where senior-level planners could hang out with people facing the same challenges, joys, frustrations…so she created it. She never planned for it to become more than a simple LinkedIn group, but as it grew, it started filling a void in the industry and SPINCon (our annual event) was created.
The group continues to evolve organically from word-of-mouth. We're now close to 2,500 members who engage, support, and laugh (and cry - thanks 2020-21!) with one another. We ban the "F" word ("fine") in our group. We want to be real and to know how you're really doing.
Our four pillars are BRAIN, BODY, BEING, and BUSINESS. Following the shocking suicide of a prominent member several years ago, we redirected our efforts to serve the WHOLE person, not just the one who goes to work. You can talk about anything, vent about anything, get advice about anything, and just BE. We respect that. Just don't be pitching anything, except on #PitchTuesdays, when we get to share our main gigs, side hustles, and shout our awesomeness to each other.
