# Event Details - **Event Name**: Conversations in Trust Calgary: Canadian Authors Make Sense of Our World - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 13 May, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Wed, 13 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm (-06:00) - **Event Description**: Join prominent Canadian writers and leaders in the arts, business, and society for a national conversation on connection.About this EventCanadian writers create the connective tissue that bonds us — their insights inform our thinking on the issues that shape culture and their voices represent us to the world abroad. Authors tell stories of who we are and who we might become. Through the shared heritage of their books and the deep thinking that informs them, writers bring complexity and nuance to a time that needs them. Yet, the work of building connection is fraught with questions about how community can be held together when individuals hold disparate views, and misinformation and misunderstanding are weaponized to sow discord.With 50 years of supporting writers as the truth-tellers of our world, Writers’ Trust of Canada believes that we need writers to help us navigate the future. Writers’ Trust beneficiaries of 50 years of literary programming will bring their ideas to stages and communities across the country with the goal of helping us see that, despite how it can feel in tumultuous times, there is more that connects us than divides us.The Calgary event features the following authors:Marcello Di Cintio2012 Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing winnerGuy Vanderhaeghe2021 Atwood Gibson Writers’ Trust Fiction Prize finalist2004 Writers' Trust Engel Findley Award winnerJenny Heijun Wills2024 Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Nonfiction finalist2019 Hilary Weston Writers’ Trust Prize for Nonfiction winnerShelley YoungblutAgenda🕑: 05:30 PMDoors Open🕑: 06:00 PM - 07:00 PMTalkHost: Marcello Di Cintio🕑: 07:00 PM - 08:00 PMReception - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/calgary/conversations-in-trust-calgary-canadian-authors-make-sense-of-our-world/100001983381958830 - **Event Categories**: art, literary-art, it - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 20, max: 20, currency: CAD ## Event venue details - **city**: Calgary - **state**: AB - **country**: Canada - **location**: Decidedly Jazz Danceworks - **lat**: 51.0412195 - **long**: -114.0626034 - **full address**: Decidedly Jazz Danceworks, 111 12 Avenue Southeast, Calgary, Canada ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Conversations in Trust Calgary: Canadian Authors Make Sense of Our World - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/b1e497d0c080e6b4f58ce485ef0b6eac1afdf4543f58a5630cfac5e33bf51e58-rimg-w1200-h600-dcfefefe-gmir.jpg?v=1775713966 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Conversations in Trust Calgary: Canadian Authors Make Sense of Our World being held? - **A:** Conversations in Trust Calgary: Canadian Authors Make Sense of Our World takes place on Wed, 13 May, 2026 at 06:00 pm to Wed, 13 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm at Decidedly Jazz Danceworks, 111 12 Avenue Southeast, Calgary, Canada. - **Q**: How much do tickets cost for Conversations in Trust Calgary: Canadian Authors Make Sense of Our World? - **A:** Tickets for Conversations in Trust Calgary: Canadian Authors Make Sense of Our World are priced at CAD 20 per person.
