Networking & Training

Monthly activities

PLAIN Canada has been hosting monthly virtual meetings, which have included webinars, presentations, and Q&As. They have become very popular, and many have provided excellent training.

In recognition of the time and efforts required to prepare these presentations, we would like to be able to offer an honorarium for presenters. However, to do that, we may need to start charging an attendance fee.

In the coming weeks, watch for more information about our webinar schedule for the year and our plans for charging a modest fee for attendance. We are also exploring the option of inviting people to pay an annual membership fee in exchange for free access to all our webinars and training opportunities.

Unconference planned for 2021/2022

Unlike traditional conferences, an “unconference” is a participant-driven meeting that is less structured and encourages collaboration and discussion. Instead of formal presentations, everyone participates and contributes their experiences and expertise.
