WASHINGTON, DC; KANSAS CITY, MO — Registration is now open for IBIEducate 2021, a new kind of educational event for the entire baking industry.

For the first time in IBIE‘s 100-year history, the world-class IBIEducate training found at the triennial Baking Expo will be accessible more frequently with its debut in Kansas City on Oct. 26-28. Backed by the American Bakers Association (ABA) and BEMA — with co-located workshops hosted by the Retail Bakers of America (RBA), IBIEducate 2021 will deliver actionable takeaways for the wholesale, retail and supplier sectors.

The hundreds of anticipated attendees from baking wholesale, retail and supplier companies will learn new skills and hone existing ones during three days of back-to-back workshop-style sessions. More than 20 sessions will offer one-of-a-kind immersive experiences that will only be at this in-person event.

“Participants at IBIEducate 2021 will step away from their computer screens and their work facilities and step into interactive learning that can only be done in-person,” said Robb MacKie, president and CEO, ABA. “The ROI on this type of training, especially after more than a year and a half of being apart, will be invaluable for baking industry employees.”

Attendees can count on the same caliber of education found at IBIE every three years.

“We are pleased to be offering the best-in-class professional development that IBIEducate is so well known for in a new format that can be delivered to audiences eager for high-quality content on a more regular basis,” said Kerwin Brown, president and CEO, BEMA. ““IBIEducate is such an important component of the triennial event, and with the industry showing an increased value in and desire for education, we are confident that IBIEducate 2021 will deliver.”

The anticipated hundreds of attendees from baking’s wholesale, retail and supplier companies will learn new skills and hone existing ones during three days of back-to-back, workshop-style sessions.

Among more than 20 activities — including an interactive baking zone welcome reception, facility tours and networking opportunities, attendees will benefit from…

Diverse topics: Covering food safety and sanitation, emerging baking trends and hands-on technique training.
In-person connections: Engage with baking industry peers and suppliers during non-stop hands-on sessions, networking opportunities and facility tours.
Sharpened skills: Whether a wholesale or retail baker or an industry supplier, IBIEducate 2021 will deliver what attendees need to advance their know-how in 2021 and beyond.
Downloadable materials: All materials for IBIEducate 2021 will be on the app and virtual event guide. Attendees will have access to presentations, activity sheets, materials and notes for future use.
