RDBA’s 2023 Virtual Experience agenda is live! Last week we shared that Phil Lempert will return as the opening keynote speaker, and this week we’re revealing three more incredible keynote speakers.

Exciting news! Registration is now open for the fourth annual RDBA Virtual Experience 2023. And for the first time, the conference is now not only open for Retail RDs, but this year we will be creating space for a wide variety of retail industry professionals to enhance the scope of opportunities for skill set building and networking. 

Happy National Registered Dietitian Nutritionist Day! Today, we join the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics in celebrating YOU and your many contributions to the industry.

Just over a month ago, we announced that the Association of Retail & Consumer Professionals acquired the RDBA. As with any acquisition – even when you’re taking on an established, well-run organization like the RDBA - it takes time to adjust. Emily Callahan, ARC’s President, took a moment to record a special message to talk about the acquisition and what it means for RDBA members and ARC members.

We hope you are joining us for the Annual CMA|SIMA Conference that starts in just 12 days! As promised, here are our picks for breakouts, workshops and keynotes on Day Three (March 1, 2023) that we think have significant benefits to our RDBA community.
