Goal and Objectives
The Retail Bakers of America’s mission is to improve the operation and profitability of retail bakeries through education, information and other services. The Professional Bakers Education Program and exhibit hall fulfill this mission. The 2009 American Retail Bakery Exposition is designed to bring together retail bakers, decorators, suppliers, and industry leaders from around the country. The RBA is ready to provide bakers with the opportunity to attend relevant educational programming, plus visit companies representing all areas of the industry including those who specialize in equipment, ingredients, packaging and shipping, and decorating supplies.

The exhibits, professional baker education program, exhibit floor demonstrations, and all other portions of the program and exposition are designed to:

  • Present concepts for improving management practices.
  • Demonstrate products and production techniques which increase sales and/or reduce costs
  • Provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and peer-to-peer networking
  • Inform and train new and aspiring bakery owners
  • Include and involve the baking industry’s ethnically diverse businesses
