Christian Trade Association International (CTAI) has announced that a dozen Christian publishers will participate in Marketsquare International: A World of Opportunity.

Scheduled for Jan. 24-26 near the Toronto Pearson International Airport, the new convention will feature workshops and a panel discussion on such topics as the Future of Christian Publishing, International Publishing Initiatives and Developing Authors at Home, CTAI said.

Publishers who have already agreed to participate in the panel include Zondervan Executive Vice President and Publisher Scott Bolinder, Strang Book Group Executive Vice President Tessie DeVore, Gospel Light CEO Bill Greig III, Harvest House Publishers President Bob Hawkins Jr. and Tyndale House President Mark Taylor.

"When we help grow the Christian trade worldwide by supporting Marketsquare events, it not only positively impacts our sales, but it also supports kingdom growth worldwide," said B&H Publishing Group President Ken Stephens. "Now, that's a cause we all want to rally behind."

To be held at the Delta Meadowvale Resort and Conference Centre in Mississauga, Ontario, Marketsquare International, which will serve international buyers in the absence of CBA's cancelled Advance event, is a "table top" display event that is being organized to serve the growing number of international buyers who want to be able to meet collectively with U.S.-based suppliers early in the year, CTAI said.
