Member benefits include free attendance at all MPF and MPF Panel events (other than the MPF European Practice Management Awards), surveys and reports on topical issues, and access to all Forum content via the website, MPF 'Insights' and MPF 'Consult'.
Regional member: MPF activities provide national coverage, to enable organisations to participate more widely in the Forum, firms can apply for a Regional membership, sponsored by a Lead member based at the same firm in the same country. ‘Regional’ members are senior fee earners with job titles such as country head, head of office or regional chair. Annual dues are £750 + a 10% joining fee or £100 + a 10% joining fee for those based outside the UK. Member benefits are identical to Lead members.
Additional member: MPF events are member-only. To allow more contacts at firms to benefit from Forum activities, each Lead and each Regional member can appoint an Additional member based in the same office at the same firm at no extra cost. Additional members are COOs, senior partners, practice group leaders and fee earners with management roles. Member benefits are identical to Lead members other than participation in MPF leadership groups. Those wishing to join such groups must upgrade to 'Regional' membership.

This includes free attendance at events organised by the relevant Panel, access to all Forum content via the website. Lead members can approve any Panel members from their firm to participate in MPF activities at no extra cost, although this is intended as a board level privilege.
Professional Marketing Forum membership: Whilst marketing strategy remains core to the MPF agenda, delivering the strategy involves ever increasing complexity. PM Forum is a 5,000 strong global association for those responsible for delivering marketing strategy on a day-to-day basis. In addition to a full range of member services, PM Forum also organises a Marketing Leaders' Group which has been recognised by MPF as carrying equal weight to an MPF Panel. MPF members can therefore attend Marketing Leaders’ Group Meetings at no extra cost.
