Speaking Municipally is a proud member of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB. This week we talked about Inventures Unbound which runs June 3-4 online. The conference promises live-stream experiences, expert content, pitch events, and the chance to "engage in a vital, growing community of innovators, investors, and service providers." We also gave a Pod Power shoutout to Let's Get Lit, a poetry podcast from the Writers' Guild of Alberta. "In each episode, hosts Rayanne Haines and Matthew Stepanic interview poets based in Alberta and Western Canada about the power of poetry to support and promote arts and literacy."
