BCATW 2019 Symposium

We are excited to share that the date, venue and speakers are set for our upcoming BCATW 2019 Symposium.

With our 2019 Symposium, we have left the traditional Symposium themes of adventure, luxury, food and wine …etc. to focus on the Art of Travel Storytelling in 2019. We bring together a merging of the minds and expertise, coming from both the traditional and digital media realms to explore what matters to travel media in 2019 – from understanding the multitude of travel storytelling possibilities and platforms, to finding the right funding model for your travel stories, to exploring the fine art of writing and storytelling around food and wine from some seasoned travel storytellers.

The details to mark on your calendar:

• ✮ Date: March 9th, 2019
• ✮ Time: 10 am – 3 / 3:30 pm
• ✮ Venue: Vancity at 183 Terminal Ave, Vancouver BC
