Why Should I Attend?
Craft Brewers Conference is a great opportunity for those in craft brewing to come, listen, and learn from expert craft brewers on various industry-related "tracks", such as Safety and Sustainability, Brewing Operations & Beer Styles, Quality and Ingredients, Export Development, and much more. Within each of these Educational Tracks, you have the chance to hear from industry experts on various topics related to your track. Below is a list of the various educational tracks featured at the show, along with details into what the track covers:
- Brewing Operations & Beer Styles - In this educational track, you will gain insights into current beer styles and the techniques used to brew them, as well as ways to maximize quality and efficiency in your brewery operations, no matter the size.
- Business & Leadership - For owners, managers, and leaders in the craft brewing industry, things like finance, accounting, hiring and staff motivation, and change management, are all a part of keeping your business viable. In these sessions, learn how to become a better and more effective leader in your brewery operations.
- Export Development - Because the demand for high quality innovative craft beer continues to grow all over the world, this track is designed to educate U.S. craft brewers about opportunities, regulations, and best practices for marketing and selling your beer abroad.
- Government Affairs & Legal - In order for small businesses to stay up to date on the rules and regulations affecting their operations, attending the Government Affairs and Legal track seminars will help you become more aware of the risks and opportunities in today's national government.
- Quality & Ingredients - Quality and ingredient management is vital for on-going success in the brewing industry. Therefore, seminars in the Quality and Ingredients track are designed to help you build your own sensory and quality programs, as well as source, analyze, and properly use the highest ingredients to brew the best beer possible.
- Safety & Sustainability - Creating a safe and healthy environment for your employees and customers is critical to managing and operating a successful brewery. Because of this, the Safety and Sustainability track will provide you with the resources you need to build a culture in your brewery that fosters environmental stewardship and protects your staff and equipment from harm.
- Sales, Distribution, and Marketing - The seminars in the Sales, Distribution, and Marketing track will provide you with the best practices for selling beer on- and off-premise, working with retailers and distributors, and designing successful marketing strategies to help grow your brand.
- Taprooms & Brewpubs - Because some of the most important issues for on-premise breweries are simply about hospitality, the Taprooms and Brewpubs track allows you to gain insight into enhancing customer experience, training taproom staff, building programs for successful events and entertainment, and maintaining customer engagement during good times and bad.
- THRIVE - THRIVE is a Brewers Association (BA) initiative that takes a holistic approach to addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), human resources (HR), and physical and mental wellness-related components of the workplace experience that are enriched when developed together. Experts in this track will provide informative and actionable content that improves DEI, HR, and wellness-related practices in breweries of all sizes.
