Focus on Benefits: Free webinars
Written by Ruth Farrugia RGD, City of Côte Saint-Luc
The RGD Membership has its privileges! As co-chair of the Membership Committee, I want to share some of the amazing resources and benefits that Membership provides and encourage all RGD Members to take advantage of them. If you’re not an RGD Member yet, now’s the time to join!
It’s hard to shake that yearning for learning new things, especially at this time of year when students are heading back to school. The RGD has you covered with a wide array of webinars. If you’re an RGD Member, whether Student, Associate, Affiliate or Certified RGD, you have free access to all of our webinars all year round! Not only that, you also have some guest passes so a colleague or client can attend for free. (Non-members can attend a webinar for $35.)
“I attended a webinar last year that I still think about regularly—it was about Ukrainian Type Design. It was so interesting to learn more about the history of typography in Ukraine, and how historic design practices continue to permeate through contemporary design. I really enjoyed the level of care put into the presentation, and getting the chance to see how other creatives think.”

No matter how long you’ve been a designer, there is always something new on the horizon and we need to keep up with our ever-evolving profession. Even if you just want some inspiration and see what other designers are working on, there’s a webinar for you.
Get inspired and get practical advice with webinars on accessibility, typography, UX, environmental design, branding, illustration and art, case studies and creativity. Navigate the world of work with topics like running a business, working in-house, career-building, creative leadership, legal information and other business tips. Explore the bigger questions and the personal stuff with sessions on AI, sustainability, design education, ethics, diversity and inclusion and mental health.
If you’ve missed out on a webinar you really wanted to attend, you can watch the recording in the RGD’s video library—yet another Member benefit! Non-Members also have the option to purchase select recordings via our Vimeo archive site.
Subscribe to the RGD Word bi-weekly newsletter and our weekly webinar newsletters, and you’ll get a heads-up about upcoming webinars each week. You can also sync to the RGD’s live event Google calendar so you never miss an opportunity to keep learning.
