| WHAT IS A LUNCH ’N LEARN? |
The A.R.E. Lunch ’n Learn webinars are single-sponsor webinars focusing on materials, services or products of interest to our members and/or retailers. The free mid-day webinars are modeled after the traditional Lunch ’n Learn sessions that are a mainstay among design firms. They call upon the expertise of materials or product suppliers to keep designers, specifiers and manufacturers up-to-date on new materials developments, properties and uses.
