2019 BFA OnLine Seminar Webinar

Mark Your Calendars!

The Balloon Federation of America's annual Online Seminar will be held on

Saturday, April 27, 2019

Registration will start on February 15, 2019

The serminar is completely video-based, so the users can watch the videos at anytime that is convenient for them. Watch at your own pace (and in your own time zone), take a small test at the end, and you will be granted insurance credit for your participation.

Of course, the BFA highly recommends that balloonists attend their local face-to-face seminar if possible. We try to schedule the online seminar later in the Spring to allow those who missed a local seminar to be able to complete a course.

We also recommend watching the seminar in groups if possible. The interaction with others often enhances the experience. We know of several balloon clubs and groups that meet somewhere with a big screen and share the experience together.
