Professional development
APPA Webinars
Continue your professional development journey with valuable online content.
APPA webinars bring current research, best practices, and emerging trends in educational facilities management to you in a live, online format. Each session is led by practitioners and subject-matter experts who work in the field, covering topics relevant to facilities professionals at every stage of their career.
Webinars are one of the most accessible ways to keep building your professional knowledge. Each session earns you 1 PDH, credited automatically to your APPA account, so you can grow your PDH total and maintain your CEFP certification without any extra paperwork. Topics span the full range of educational facilities work, from energy and sustainability to workforce development, technology, operations, and leadership.
One hour. One PDH. One step forward.

Each webinar offers professional development hours (PDH) and continuing education credits, making them a must-attend for credentialed members. By sponsoring an APPA webinar, your brand is front and center with this highly engaged audience, and your products and services reach hundreds of qualified facilities management professionals.
