Notes from IBDEA Headquarters

Conference! Conference! Conference! We are super excited to see everyone later this month in New Orleans. Happy to share that the conference attendance is similar to 2022; however, Monday's activities (golf and the cooking class) are almost sold out.

As for the hotel rooms, even though the Hilton New Orleans Riverside graciously extended us a few extra room nights, they are sold out. Rooms are still available at the overflow hotel, Le Méridien New Orleans, which is a few blocks away. If you have an extra hotel room at the Hilton, please get in touch with us before you cancel it.

Finally, a few seats are still available for the 2023 IBDEAU schools. Carbonation 101 and Draught Beverage Dispense have limited attendance, allowing for ample hands-on training with industry leaders.
