What can AI actually do for your brewery? This educational session at CBP Connects Tampa (Dec. 7-9) helps you identify practical ways AI can save you time in operations, marketing and administrative workflows.

PEOPLE VS AI: WHAT ACTUALLY WORKS (AND WHAT DOESN’T) IN A BREWERY

Madeline McMahon (Madeline Fleethart Consulting)

AI is everywhere, but brewery owners don’t need another presentation about robots taking over their business. They need to know what is worth their time.

From marketing and customer communication to operations, documentation, and day-to-day efficiency, AI can help breweries reduce friction and reclaim valuable hours. At the same time, some of the most important aspects of running a brewery, including leadership, community, hospitality, and relationship-building, remain distinctly human.

This session cuts through the hype to explore practical, real-world applications of AI for breweries of all sizes. Attendees will leave with actionable ideas, a better understanding of where AI adds value, and the confidence to determine when the best answer is still a person.

Come get inspired, leave with actionable strategies: https://cbpconnects.com/
