Outline of Schedule of Events
Please refer to the Key Dates page and the Schedule of Events pages of the website.

Appointment Information
Partners registering before the October 28, 2011 deadline may request pre-scheduled appointments with Media Guests. Schedules will be prioritized on the basis of : Perfect Match, Media Request, and Partner Request. All Partners should read the appointment information page which will be available once their registration has been approved.

Canadian Media Contact Directory
This booklet is included in the media invitation and includes all the participating Canadian partner contact information. Even if the media is unable to participate, this directory is used as a Canada reference by that publication/outlet/individual during the next year. It is important that each partner register accurately and on time in order to be included in this valuable marketing tool. In addition, Partners will be listed on our website, which will also be available to journalists as an additional reference tool.

Partners are responsible for any updates to their registration/Contact Book information in order to ensure accuracy on the website and for the printed book. Partners must be aware that the information that is submitted on the registration form is the information that will appear on the web site and in the Contact Book. MM staff will edit for spelling and grammar errors only, not for factual detail. Double check all telephone and fax numbers, e-mail addresses, website addresses, "what's new" details, lure copy, etc. What you submit is what will appear online and in print.

Media Attendance
Media will be invited primarily from the western region of the US. However, some select media will be chosen to attend from other areas of the country. Partners may submit names to Monica Campbell Hoppé by December 30, 2011. A schedule of e-mail broadcasts and snail mailings to the media have been established with the first "teaser" to go out early December 2011, followed by the media invitation with registration information and Canadian Media Contact Handbook by late January, 2012.

Northern Lights Awards
The Northern Lights Awards are now in the 14th year, and we will continue to incorporate the contest and awards ceremony with Media Marketplace. The awards have proven to be popular with publications and independent journalists and photographers in North America. The rules and entry forms will be posted on-line so media will be able to register either on-line or by mail. Once again, a university school of journalism will be judging the competition. Please click here for further details.

Professional Development Seminars and Meetings
A series of media panels/professional development seminars will be held for Canadian partners and CTC Registrants. Should anyone wish to volunteer to organize a panel or to make suggestions, please contact Monica Campbell-Hoppé.
