Rolling Out Pressing Matters: ACA Educational Webinar Series
One of the most consistent pieces of feedback we hear after CiderCon® is that the learning shouldn’t stop when the conference ends. While the annual gathering remains a cornerstone of our community, we know many cider professionals are looking for more opportunities to stay connected, ask questions, and keep building their knowledge throughout the year.
Starting this April, the American Cider Association is launching a new monthly webinar series designed to bring practical education to cider makers and industry professionals year-round.
Held on the Second Thursday of each month at 11:00AM PT/2:00PM ET, these live sessions will feature expert speakers, practical topics, and opportunities for Q&A. Each webinar will also be recorded and archived, creating a growing library of resources that members can access anytime.
For ACA members, the webinars will be available for $5 per session, while non-members can participate for $20. This also gives unlimited access to the recorded material in perpetuity.
Because the TTB could not join us in Providence this year, our webinar series will kick off with a FREE two-part program focusing on regulatory essentials for cider producers and including much of the content the team would have brought to CiderCon®. *Due to the evolving nature of regulatory guidance, these webinars will not be recorded.

TTB Bootcamp Part 2: Operations Reporting and Taxes
This session will cover key compliance responsibilities for cider producers, including operational reporting, excise tax obligations, and how to stay organized with federal requirements throughout the year.
These first sessions will set the stage for a broader series of monthly programs covering topics across production, orchard management, sales, marketing, policy, and emerging trends in the cider market.
By expanding educational programming beyond the annual conference, the ACA aims to make industry expertise more accessible—especially for members who may not be able to travel to CiderCon® but still want to stay connected to the latest conversations shaping cider.
Registration for the April and May sessions is now OPEN. Register with the links above. This series is designed to grow with the industry. ACA members are invited to suggest topics they’d like to see explored in future sessions. Please email jenn@ciderassociation.org if you would like to submit webinar topic suggestions.
