The Canadian Online Publishing Awards COPA

A record number of digital
publishing enthusiasts have registered to attend the Canadian Online Publishing
Awards (COPA) party coming this Monday, Oct. 22. The growing list of
publications to be represented at COPA include CBC, Globe and Mail, Rogers
Media, TVA Publications, TC Media, Cottage Life Media, IT World Canada, The
Walrus, The Grid, Toronto Star, and YummyMummyClub.ca.
Online registration closes today, at $25 a ticket, but
those who miss the deadline can still get in at the door for $40. The event has
a new, bigger home this year in The Hoxton, 69 Bathurst St., at King St.

Tickets include the first-ever 2012 COPA Yearbook: The Who’s Who of
Digital Publishing in Canada, along with hors d’oeuvres throughout the evening.

As well, it’s a chance for guests to share their digital success
stories: COPA sponsor Agility CMS will be on hand recording thoughts from
attendees about who they think should win in the category of best online-only
article or series (which Agility is presenting), as well as asking attendees
about their most successful online initiative this year.
The video will
be compiled into a 3-5 minute finished product posted on Youtube, linked from
Agility’s Unbound Media
blog.
This year’s COPA emcee is Amber MacArthur (Amber Mac), an entrepreneur, television host,
professional speaker, and bestselling author.
