BEMA Convention 2021

Thank you for attending BEMA Convention 2021

Another BEMA Convention is in the books and after 15 months of virtual connection overload, it was great to be back in person. One attendee observed that the connections, information and sharing that look place over the four days of Convention would take months to replicate in the virtual environment.

As evidenced by the hugs, smiles and handshakes, it goes without saying that attendees were thrilled to be back in-person. The benefit of in-person might be best summed up by one of the Ask-a-Baker panelists who shared being in person allowed him to “crash” conversations where he heard others were encountering similar problems and issues in their business.
