"The 2020 edition of the Canadian Online Publishing Awards (COPA) was a special one, not only because they were forced to transform and innovate their in-place strategies due to the pandemic, but also because it marked their 12-year anniversary. And, I must say, it’s one of the best virtual conferences I’ve attended so far!"
