Magazines Canada will host a series of professional development
webinars starting May 19. Anyone can tune in – for a price.

D.B. Scott writes in his Canadian Magazines blog:

“Magazines Canada has been pondering for some time the challenge of delivering professional development to far-flung people, particularly as recent research showed that work demands and travel costs have been making traditional seminars a harder sell, even when done periodically in various cities across the country. A recent study by Kim Pittaway found that there was an appetite for such distance education.”

The three webinars offered are:
