2019 BIMS and FIPP World Congress Delegations Announced

Magazines Canada supports Canadian magazines seeking to extend their readership into international markets through our Export and Networking Program. In accordance with the program mandate, we have selected 12 magazine publishers to form delegations to this year's BIMS and the FIPP World Congress in November. The selected members reflect the broad representation of Canada’s publishing sector, geography, official languages, and sociocultural groups. The list of the delegates can be found here.

If you are interested in attending these events independently, you can still take advantage of special discounts as a Magazines Canada member. Please Contact Evan Dickson for details.
