The newest addition to RDBA’s 2023 Virtual Experience lineup was the New Product Showcase. The purpose of the New Product Showcase is to allow sponsors to showcase new products, resources and services launched within the last six months or newly coming to market.

The Retail Dietitians Business Alliance (RDBA) is thrilled to announce the 2023 Retail Dietitian of the Year award was presented to Elisa Sloss, Hy-Vee senior vice president of private brands. Elisa was recognized by hundreds of her peers during the annual RDBA Virtual Experience. Emily Callahan, President of ARC, noted, “Elisa is a stellar example of the incredible work being done by RDs in the retail industry. Her accomplishments are truly impressive. Congratulations, Elisa!"

RDBA’s 2023 Virtual Experience is next week! Today, in the final installment of this “2023 Virtual Experience” article series, we are excited to highlighting the insightful breakout sessions and award presentations taking place on Thursday, April 20th.

RDBA announced yesterday a fifth keynote titled “Ethics in Retail Dietetics” was added to the 2023 Virtual Experience agenda. 

RDBA’s Virtual Experience is less than a month away. Registration will remain open until the conference begins on April 18, 2023; however, today (March 29, 2023) is the last day to register if you want to receive the Samplefest® box. Don’t delay – register now and receive a great box of products and insights from sponsors!

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.
