WHAT
Presented by the Brewers Association, the Craft Brewers Conference® (CBC) is the largest industry gathering in the U.S. for concentrated, affordable brewing education, and idea sharing to improve brewery quality and performance. The conference brings together professionals across the industry for educational seminars and workshops led by the top minds in the beer world and access to BrewExpo America®, the largest brewing trade show in the U.S.
As small and independent craft brewers face unique opportunities and challenges, CBC allows them to connect with their colleagues and comrades to share ideas and learn about relevant topics ranging from brewery operations and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to sustainability and government affairs, while shopping for the products and services they need to run their breweries.
