 Professional DevelopmentAMPA aims to strengthen Alberta’s magazine industry by filling it with well-trained professionals. To achieve this, we offer a variety of targeted learning opportunities through which magazine workers can connect with national experts to hone skills, find fresh approaches to old problems, and gain motivation. Every March, AMPA presents the Alberta Magazines Conference, the largest magazine publishing conference in Western Canada. Other popular learning programs are available throughout the year. Pros on the RoadPros on the Road matches industry experts with member magazines to consult on topics such as advertising, circulation, promotion, editorial content, design, production, financial administration, or electronic media. The program provides one-on-one training, typically through a day-long working session.

A limited number of bursaries are also available for members travelling to seminars from out of town—just another advantage of becoming a member.
