National Conference


Background

PWAC holds its National Conference every spring. The National Conference agenda includes a mix of professional and social activities members look forward to all year round:
  • professional development workshops (some events open to the public);
  • the Annual General Meeting, at which members debate issues that involve professional issues, the running of the association, and the broader concerns of the writing community;
  • an awards banquet and ceremony;
  • plus informal events (a literary cabaret and nightly singalongs) that cement the camaraderie of members from coast to coast.
PWAC Members seeking members-only information (including pricing information): details available here.


2010 National Conference:
Wednesday June 2 - Saturday June 5, 2010 at MagNet 2010

The 34th PWAC National Conference will be held in Toronto, Ontario in partnership with the Canadian Society of Magazine Editors, the Circulation Management Association of Canada, and Magazines Canada for MagNet 2010.



Save the Date! June 2 to 5, 2010: join PWAC in Toronto!

Join your fellow professional writers for four days of networking, professional development and, of course, socializing.

A full schedule of professional development events is scheduled and what would a PWAC Conference be without evening receptions, lunch speakers, city tours and the annual PWAC Awards Dinner? If you've never been to a PWAC National Conference, this is the year to begin!

Check the
MagNet website for links to a digital brochure, the complete schedule and session descriptions by stream (advertising sales, circulation, design, digital, editorial, management, production, small magazines, special events, and writing), as well as an online registration form. Information will be posted to the site in the coming months.

I first joined PWAC over ten years ago. The organization consistently provides professional support and guidance I'd be lost without! Thank you PWAC!
