We blinked, and May arrived! This year is flying by so fast that it's as if we are in Marty McFly's time machine! As we finish up and file away the Conference in Orlando, we are beginning to focus on 2023 in New Orleans with our conference chair, Molly Arehart of Helget Gas Products.

We need your help! Technical workshops are on our radar for the next Conference, but our membership is so diverse that we need your assistance narrowing it down. You can submit your workshop suggestions on the Member Forum.

The Social Media + Website Committee and the Management Team are looking for ways to enhance our online member directory. You can help us out by updating your member profile. If you need help, please email info@ibdea.com.

The newly formed Communications Committee held its first meeting in April. There were a lot of great article ideas shared by that group, and we can't wait to see what they submit! If you're interested in joining the Communications or any IBDEA Committee, please email info@ibdea.org.

IBDEA and Industry related events are on our website at ibdea.org | Events | Upcoming Events. Here you'll find everything from IBDEA committee meetings to IBDEAU registration info. While checking it out, make sure you register for Andy's Virtual Open Forum on May 18. Registration is also open for the Draught Beverage Academy in August and the Carbonation 101 school in October.

Have a great month!

Lenette Egan and CJ Marchain
