Palo Alto Bridge / Celebrity Bridge Seminars

For the fourth year, Celebrity Bridge webinars for the Peninsula bridge community are coming in 2025.  Last year we offered on-line lectures by noted teachers Amber Lin, Michael Berkowitz, Barbara Seagram, Gavin Wolpert and Adam Parrish.  In prior years we hosted a number of famous bridge teachers at our bridge center; including, Larry Cohen, Barbara Seagram, Jerry Helms, Eddie Kantor, Donna Compton and Robert Todd.

In 2025, we will be providing webinars, on Zoom, quarterly.  Our current schedule is:.

  • January 18 – Amber Lin:  How to “Think Like an Expert at Trick 1”
  • Additional TBD

These seminars will be held online on Zoom.  Included in your registration for these seminars, will be access to a recording of the session and any materials used; therefore, you don’t have to attend to get the benefit.
