The IBD Sustainability in Brewing Conference 2025

Call For Submissions

We are designing an engaging two-day program and welcome submissions on any sustainability topic, large or small, that impacts brewing.

We are looking forward to welcoming industry leaders who will share their insight on sustainability, hear upcoming research and developments from academics, brewing scientists and students, and learn more about applying sustainability in workplace from brewers and suppliers.

The conference will be a one stop shop to meet the experts, join discussions and learn more about how to make your work more future proof. This is your chance to share your work with your peers and contribute to the future of brewing.
