The CCFPD has organized nine roundtables:

• Helping to Shape a Canadian Discussion/Policy Development on the Americas (Calgary, March 17, 1999) broadcast on the Internet in real time and archived. (organized with Design E Lab, the McLuhan Program in Culture and Technology at the University of Toronto, and the Calgary Centre for Performing Arts)
