WELCOME
On behalf of the Asia Pacific Section of The Institute of Brewing and Distilling, we invite you to attend the 36th Convention to be held from Monday 16th March to Friday 20th March 2020 at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre in Perth, Western Australia.
THE POWER OF CONNECTIVITY
The last time the Convention was held in Perth was in 1998 and delegates in attendance back then will be amazed at the changes that have occurred in Perth over more than 20 years. The city is a modern, buzzing and vibrant centre with many craft breweries, restaurants and a picturesque blend of modern and historic buildings. Perth is also the gateway to some wonderful and unique tourist centres including Rottnest Island, the stunning Swan Valley and Margaret River wine regions, and one of the world's last wilderness frontiers, the Kimberley region in the north of the state.
With the significant number of craft breweries now based in Western Australia there will be an ongoing focus on craft brewing as part of the technical programme. The theme for our Convention will be The Power of Connectivity with the emphasis on all participants from every aspect of our industry coming together for the benefit of the industry.
The 2020 Asia Pacific IBD Convention in Perth aims to integrate craft brewing, large scale brewing, and distilling needs throughout the entire convention programme. Delegates can mingle with experts in flavour and innovation or debate the challenges of efficiency and best cost. The importance of supply chain and marketing as businesses grow and expand into this connected, ever-changing and increasingly digital landscape. There will be a special forum to share insights into the complex world of distilling and celebrate some the history of this honourable profession. Last but certainly not least, the chance to break bread with your favourite suppliers and business partners that are imperative to these assembly’s and get the latest and greatest of what is new and exciting in our world of Brewing and Distilling. The 2020 Convention in Perth will set a new standard in knowledge exchange across a platform that is both enjoyable and accessible.
We look forward to welcoming you to Perth!
