As part of VLB’s strategy and in response to the restrictions caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the portfolio in the event area is being significantly expanded. Important parts of the strategy are the conception and implementation of web-based conferences and the extension of virtual learning formats. All developments are based on VLB’s long-term experience in conduction of education and training programs for brewers and employees of the beverage and distilling industries as well as international brewers’ conferences.

The 1st VLB International Craft Brewing Conference (ICBO) is an online conference for worldwide participants of the craft brewing sector and will take place from April 27 to 29 on VLB Virtual Campus.

For the first time in digital format, VLB organizes a conference dedicated exclusively to the craft beer sector. This will allow you to participate from the comfort and safety of your home or workplace, regardless of where you are located in the world.

As in all VLB events, current and interesting topics will be cover, starting from raw materials, going through the production process, including aspects of packaging, logistics and transport. We will have an outstanding panel of speakers from VLB as well as guests from the craft brewing sector and the supplier of equipment and raw materials.

You will have the opportunity to interact with other participants in the VLB Virtual Campus, also during the virtual exhibition.

The recorded lectures will be available to view up to a week after the conference (until Wednesday 05 May). Likewise, all the presentations will be available in “pdf” format to be downloaded by the participants.
