The BC Craft Brewers Conference, hosted by the BC Craft Brewers Guild, brings together key stakeholders from the entire British Columbia craft brewing industry for an annual networking and educational event. A highlight on everyone’s calendar, 400+ attendees will form new contacts with industry peers, connect with key industry suppliers, and gain insight into key industry issues. The day-long session includes peer-led educational sessions, a supplier trade show floor, and plenty of beer—we are craft beer enthusiasts after all.
