Held in conjunction with the Canadian Online Publishing Awards
Oct. 24, 2011, The Gladstone Hotel, Toronto

Now in its third year, the Canadian Online Publishing Awards is growing again… this time with an exciting new one-day conference — COPA+ — aimed at the needs of leaders in Canada’s digital publishing industry, and held the same day as the COPAs.

COPA+ will inspire and inform publishers, editors, designers and marketers from the ranks of Canada’s digital publishers, including those from newspaper, magazine, broadcast and online-only backgrounds. The conference features:

• insightful keynote sessions
• networking opportunities
• technology presentations
• the unique COPA Café & Market
• products and services for digital publishers

COPA+ is set at The Gladstone Hotel on Toronto’s hip West Queen West district. As the home of COPA, it’s the perfect space for the first COPA+, with:

• free wireless throughout
• relaxed workspaces and networking zones
• intimate presentation rooms for in-depth discussions
• delicious food and drink
• compact layout ideal for serendipitous encounters
• … all in a comfortable, iconic heritage-hotel setting with newly renovated rooms

COPA+ is specially paced to allow time for learning, inspiration, networking, and celebration. You’ll likely learn as much from other conference goers as you will from the official presentations. And, of course, there are breaks to give you time to check in with the office, your CMS, your social media and email accounts.

A full Conference Pass gives access to all keynotes, networking luncheon, the COPA Café & Market in the afternoon, and the Awards presentation in the evening, emceed by CBC Radio’s Nora Young, host of Spark, CBC’s leading-edge technology and culture show.

While the conference landscape is cluttered with events for digital marketers and advertisers, editorial-based publishers have very different—and often divergent—needs and challenges. COPA+ is designed to tackle these issues in an intimate, highly focused setting.

COPA Award participants include Canada’s leading editorial-based digital publishers, including Rogers Publishing, The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star, Edmonton Journal, Transcontinental Publishing, CBC.ca, CTV, St. Joseph Media, and many more including exciting digital start-ups.

We look forward to seeing you at COPA+ and the Awards!
