We are thrilled to announce that Crime Writers of Canada will be sponsoring Bouchercon Calgary 2026! The conference takes place from October 21–25, 2026. As part of our sponsorship, CWC is hosting the official Media Room, featuring three days of programming. We will be running 11 dedicated CWC panels, each with approximately four spots. This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase our members' expertise and connect with the international crime-writing community.
We need your help to fill these spots! Whether you have a fully formed panel idea, a specific area of expertise to share, or simply want to join a discussion with your peers, we want to hear from you.
Important Program Details
CWC Sessions vs. General Programming: Please note that this application is specifically for CWC-sponsored sessions in the Media Room. This is independent of any general Bouchercon programming or panels you may be invited to by the convention organizers.
Expenses: Participation as a panelist is voluntary. Panelists are not paid and are responsible for their own convention registration, travel, and accommodation costs.
Book Room: CWC will also have a table in the Book Room. A separate application for Book Room signings and volunteer slots will be sent out this summer.
