Offered for free to members every month except April, when we host our annual conference. These one-hour virtual events invite PCPA members to hear from experts on a wide variety of topics that can help you in your work. Sometimes the speakers come from among our Adjunct Member companies, sometimes from our Publishing Member companies and sometimes from outside experts. Learn more here.

Third Thursday webinars are generally recorded and may be seen on the PCPA Vimeo channel.

A highlight for members each year. You will learn from dynamic keynote speakers, expert workshop leaders and one another via our popular Peer Groups. Information will be shared via our weekly newsletter as it becomes available. Most of our Annual Spring Conference meetings are held in or near Nashville, TN because so many of our member companies are within driving distance of Nashville. More information is available on our Events page.

Videos for most of the Annual Conference workshops and keynote speeches are available for viewing to those who paid for conference registration. For more information, please contact Executive Director Beth Lewis.

Another event that is anticipated and enjoyed each year by those who lead our Publishing Company Members. More information is available on our Events page.
