ANNUAL MEETING & CONFERENCE

NEW ONE DAY CONFERENCE

We know budgets are tight and your time is valuable. Our planning committee consolidated our typical day and a half conference into ONE day chock full of interesting and educational topics that will appeal to many different business models and brewery sizes. This means less expense for you and less time away from the brewery, but still a high quality conference for you and your team.

THREE EDUCATIONAL TRACKS

We have presentation topics planned in the following categories:

  • In the Brew House - Topics focused on brewing techniques, quality, safety, innovation, creative problem solving.

  • The Business of Brewing - Topics focused on running a successful business such as finance, marketing, HR, compliance, leadership.

  • Beyond the Bar - Topics focused on taproom operations, customer service, events, food, and staff training.
