JACKSON, MI — Retail Bakers of America (RBA) is hitting the road this summer for the RBA Roadshow in Jackson, MI, sponsored by Dawn Foods.
The event, set for July 22- 23 at the Dawn Foods Innovation Center, offers regional bakery leaders and bakers of all levels an immersive, hands-on experience.
“The RBA Roadshow is an opportunity for bakers to connect with fellow bakers & retail bakery owners, as well as strengthen their relationships in the industry,” said Marissa Velie, executive director of RBA. “It’s really about idea-sharing. Building connections in the baking industry creates an important network as bakers develop their businesses and bakery tours provide an invaluable learning tool to see a variety of operations first-hand.”
During RBA Roadshow, attendees will explore the Ann Arbor, MI, baking community, and take behind-the-scenes tours of Ann Arbor bakeries including Zingerman’s Bakehouse, Q Bakehouse & Market, and Sweet Heather Anne.
