If you would like to advertise a publishing conference or seminar on this site, contact MTI.
Please note that some of the conferences are oriented specifically toward book, magazine, curriculum, or comic book publishing. Others with more general titles nevertheless are oriented more toward one specific type of publishing than another. It would be a good idea to ask the organizer how much of the conference in which you are interested will apply to you and your publishing ministry.
