WELCOME
The Asia Pacific Section of the Institute of Brewing and Distilling (IBD) invites you to be part of this memorable event taking place from Monday 20 March to Friday 24 March 2023 in Adelaide, Australia.
For the first time since Wellington 2018 we will finally reconnect with old friends and colleagues and create new friendships among members of our brewing and distilling communities, whilst being enlightened with the latest knowledge and new technologies developing in our industry.
This convention also has special meaning as we celebrate the 70th anniversary of the establishment of the IBD Asia Pacific Section and our first ever convention - held in Adelaide back in 1953. We are honouring this milestone with our Convention theme: “Celebrating 70 years, embracing our history and innovating for a sustainable future”. We encourage our brewing and distilling community both local and abroad to adopt and share this theme during the convention.
Please continue to visit this website for announcements and news.
