The forum operates on a quarterly cycle of:

  • All-stakeholder events, consisting of a keynote presentation, followed by small group breakout discussions.

  • Morning coffee/afternoon tea discussions relevant to this agenda.
  • Training opportunities.
  • Newsletters, signposting relevant updates, content and events.
Forthcoming PAF events are shown opposite, along with the most recent relevant content.

You are also able to search relevant content on our platform using the ‘Paris Alignment Forum’ tag – see applicable articles on this important agenda here.
