MagsBC shares information about conferences and training opportunities through our event blog posts here and under News. Although in the past, we have offered webinars and seminars, we now support AMPA’s Strategies for Canadian Magazines webinar series. MagsBC members can register at the AMPA member rate. Creative BC’s Magazine Publishers Market Fund offers financial support to MagsBC and Magazines Canada members to attend industry and magazine content-specific conferences and other events and assist with marketing initiatives.
