NEW DELHI: Brewer World (BW) Conclave 2022, India’s first and only event dedicated to the beer and brewing Industry in India, is scheduled to take place from May 26 to 28 at KTPO, Whitefield.
The three-day power-packed event of panel discussions and presentations from the biggest national and international players in the brewing industry will serve as an education and knowledge hub which addresses several topics. These include topics such as challenges, opportunities, technologies and more through keynotes, panel discussions, dedicated workshops, technical seminars, etc.
The conclave is set to host over 100 exhibitors and brands covering the latest technologies, products, equipment and solutions available for beer manufacturers in India. Exhibitors will have the opportunity to meet, network and interact with their potential customers such as beer manufacturers, microbreweries, craft breweries, OEMs, EPC companies, turnkey project consultants and others.
Speaking about the upcoming event, Anitha Raghunath, co-founder and managing director, Brewer World, said, “We are thrilled to host the very first edition of Brewer World Conclave 2022. With this event, we wish to give beer the long-lost identity that it truly deserves. The sole purpose of this initiative is to create a platform that will bring the entire brewing community of India together under one roof.”
She further added, “The Indian beer industry has been responsible for generating a revenue of $14,981m in 2021. Considering that the market is expected to grow annually by 10.14% (CAGR 2021-2025), the scope of economic benefits provided by the beer industry is huge. Within a relatively short space of just 10 years, India has developed over 250 brewpubs, with newer ones coming up in Mumbai, Pune, Hyderabad, Goa, Kolkata, and Chandigarh.
“Gurugram and Bengaluru are where the bulk of them are concentrated. With the revisions in government norms, more states now provide necessary permissions to set up their own microbrewery. We have already received participation requests and registrations from delegates across the country who are looking to meet, network and learn from the leading players and vendors in the space.”
The workshops and presentations at the conclave will cover a wide range of topics; making it a feast for brewers and beer enthusiasts. Topics covered by industry experts will include: Overview of the Indian brewing industry and its growth potential, beer soluble hop compounds and aroma training, sessions on quality assurance, supply agility and businesses growth, storytelling through labelling, brewing of alcohol-free beer, beer recovery techniques, beer marketing workshops and more.
Entrepreneurs looking to venture into the brewing space also have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of sessions including The Essentials for Opening a Micro-Brewery, Contract Brewing 101 – Understanding Contract Brewing, Importance of Innovation and Pilot Brewing 101, etc. The event will also serve as a platform not just for aspiring entrepreneurs, but also for the Indian beer industry and all its stakeholders to explore opportunities in the global beer market, engage with the world’s top brands and expand business reach internationally.
Conceptualised and crafted by Brewer World, India’s first neutral web platform for the beer & brewing industry, BW Conclave 2022 is a first-of-its-kind attempt to provide a unified platform for the beer brewing industry. The conclave will also host the Beer of India Awards and BW Awards to acknowledge and honor the individuals and organisations that have left a mark in the Indian beer brewing space. (ANI/GPRC)
