Wonderful Wednesday Webinars: $100 (RBA Members Only)

RBA's Webinars are web conferences, providing retail members the ability to introduce a live demonstration/presentation over the internet. In a web conference, each participant sits at his/her own computer and is connected to the presenter and other participants via the Internet.  Audio is available over the internet if the attendee is connected to speakers and a microphone. Attendees may also dial-in to the Webinar using a conference call phone number.

Offered each Wednesday, Webinars are presented by industry professionals on topics relevant to the baking community, including customer service and HR. Webinar sponsors have their company's name and logo displayed prominently on the headline slide and a 30-second promotional commercial to be read by an RBA staff member at the end of the presentation.
