Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) in Las Vegas isn’t just another event; it’s a crucial platform for breweries to tap into trending industry insights and products. As a proud sponsor for five consecutive years, Strike Visuals has been at the forefront, empowering new breweries with custom event displays tailored to elevate their brand presence.
What is the Craft Brewers Conference?
The Craft Brewers Conference (CBC) is an annual event for the brewing industry organized by the Brewers Association. It offers seminars and workshops on brewing techniques, business management, and sustainability. The event also includes BrewExpo America, a trade show where suppliers showcase the latest brewing products and equipment.
The CBC is also a great place for networking, allowing attendees to connect with other brewers and share experiences. The event features the World Beer Cup, an international competition that awards the best beers in various categories. Additionally, the conference provides updates on industry trends and issues, making it a key event for anyone in the craft brewing industry.
“Our goal is twofold. One is that we want to have that conversation to try to figure out what they are trying to do. Are they growing? Are they opening their doors? The second is, after we follow up, to start working with them to see if we can help them out. So the trade show is kind of a 1-2 punch for us. Let them know what we do, try to figure out what they’re doing, and then start seeing if it’s a good fit after that.”
