CTDA is dedicated to bringing educational opportunities to its members and the industry. The CTDA created a webinar program in order to do this. Webinars are usually held on the 3rd Thursday or Friday of the month at 10:00am Central. These webinars are given through , an online web conferencing system. The cost is FREE for members thanks to a sponsorship from VanHearron!

What To Expect
Our webinars are priced per company location. The goal of CTDA is to have many people from each company location participate in the webinars. What many of our members do is have many employees sit in a conference room while the webinar is projected onto a screen. This is an easy way to educate your whole staff! Each CTDA webinar is recorded. When you purchase the webinar you receive call in/login information as well as a handout of the presenters’ slides arranged with space for attendees to take notes. After the webinar is completed CTDA staff distributes the recorded webinar which is available to you indefinitely.
Pricing is as follows:
Members - $0 per company location for all scheduled 2012 webinars thanks to a sponsorship from VanHearron
Non Members Cost - $150 per company location
Recorded Webinar Link Only - $50 per company
