De European Camel Ranch Owners Association (ECROA) (ECROA website) organiseert zesmaal per jaar webinars over nieuwe ontwikkelingen, onderzoek en praktijkervaringen met betrekking tot het houden van dromedarissen en andere kameelachtigen.
De webinars worden in het Engels gegeven. Met behulp van moderne vertaalapps en automatische ondertiteling zijn zij echter ook voor niet-Engelstalige deelnemers goed toegankelijk.
