2005 BANFF SUMMIT MEETING
July 01 - 03, 2005 @ Banff Centre for
the Arts
Overview:
After a very positive meeting with Paul Seesequasis
(program officer from the Spoken Word Program @ The
Canada Council for the Arts) and receiving a significant
sponsorship from the Banff Centre, we have decided to
create a Banff Summit Meeting as part of the festival.
The idea is to bring together the major organizers of
Spoken Word Poetry (events/festivals, publications,
producers) into one place for a meeting and strategy
session. The purpose for this meeting is to unite and
strengthen as a group, which will facilitate collective
organization and international strategy. This will be
a unique opportunity to network so we are all on the
same “page” i.e. if a festival in Montreal
brings a poet from Africa, then the poet from Africa
could also read in several locations across the country;
saving money and time.
