The Colorado Brewers Guild (CBG) is hosting the seventh annual Colorado Craft Brewers Summit and Trade Show in Denver at the Embassy Suites Downtown Denver on Thursday, Nov. 9 and Friday, Nov. 10.
Relevant for both the brewery in planning and the established brewery, there is something for everyone. The Summit will focus on the most pressing needs of our craft beer community and deliver valuable information pertaining to a wide variety of craft brewing topics.
Registration for CBG members is $175 per person and the price goes up to $200 starting Nov. 1. Registration for non-members is $250. Buy registration for three people and get $25 off per person. Register here.
Why attend? At the Summit, Colorado brewers have an opportunity to learn from each other on topics ranging from building authentic inclusion practices, attracting (and keeping) top talent, social media marketing, technical brewing practices and in-depth discussions about legal topics.
Both registration types include Thursday and Friday educational seminars, access to the trade show and numerous networking opportunities.
The full list of seminars can be viewed here. Here is one that sounds intriguing:
