- Feb. 18 to 21, 2010: The Banff Centre's In(ter)ventions: Literary Practice At The Edge. An innovative conference open to writers, new media artists, students, critics, educators and others. Recent GG-winner Kate Pullinger, Daphne Marlatt and J.R. Carpenter will be among the presenters.
- February & March 2010: The Writers Union of Canada's Secure Footing in a Changing Literary Landscape. A full-day event held at various locations across Canada to help writers navigate the print-based and digital literary landscapes from a creative and financial point of view. Open to the general public and reasonably priced at $45.
- June 4, 2010: Likewise, the Writer's Union 37th AGM and annual conference will also feature two forward-looking workshops. "The Future of the Word" will be a conversation with publishers, book sellers and authors on how the word will appear and how it will be sold, and "An Author's Guide to Navigating the E-World", will be a practical session on the power of social media and collaborative tools that authors can use to create, promote and communicate. These workshops will be open to the public for a fee and free to Union members.
