Description:
Canada’s creator economy is growing, but building a sustainable industry takes more than great content. It requires investment in talent, infrastructure, education and the organizations that help creators turn ideas into sustainable careers and businesses.
Leaders from across Canada’s creative ecosystem come together to explore how their organizations are investing in creators, building capacity and creating new opportunities for podcasting and digital media. We’ll look at what’s working, where the gaps remain and what it will take to build a stronger creator economy in Canada.
