On top of all that, there’s a Welcome Party on Thursday, November 2nd at 7 Seas Brewing in Tacoma, which is a great opportunity to network and socialize with fellow craft beer industry folks. And to wrap things up, following the Summit on Friday, the official Washington Beer Awards Ceremony and Dinner.
The main event happens on Friday, November 3rd at the Washington State Fair Events Center—the Mattress Firm Showplex. All tickets to the summit include access to the expansive trade floor, the keynote speech by John Mallett*, access to 16 educational sessions, a catered lunch, and craft beer tastings.
