What It Is.

Brews and Brands is a monthly meeting of like-minded marketing and sales professionals. Hosted at local breweries in the Louisville area, it’s a relaxed setting for the exchange of marketing ideas, challenges and more, all over a refreshing beverage or three. Each session will be loosely facilitated around a particular “topic of the month,” but we’ll go wherever the conversation takes us.

What It Isn’t.

Brews and Brands is not a networking group. Rather, it’s a small, informal gathering of marketing folks who like to learn, grow, absorb, create, rethink and reimagine. The goal is to leave each month refreshed (by both the craft goodness brewed by our host and the company) and inspired. That’s it. Will you make some new friends? Sure. But the free exchange of ideas is the primary goal.

Who Can Come?

We limit each monthly group to 25 people at most, but a typical session is closer to 15 — enough to bring diverse points of view and different levels of expertise and experience, but not so many that it loses that small group vibe that keeps conversation flowing. Currently, only one person from a specific industry can attend — for example, only one hospital marketing professional or one bank marketer. (This is to ensure that no one has a direct competitor in the room, so everyone feels more comfortable discussing dilemmas, strategies or ideas.) All participants must register to attend.

Can’t make it this month? Choose a different date here.

Expectations? There are three.

First, we ask that you repay our host’s hospitality by partaking of their fine craft beers or other beverages.

Second, we ask that you try to make it every month. The group will flourish more fully if we have consistent participation from people who have the chance to get to know one another. If you cannot make a month, we ask that you email us from this website soon enough that we can let someone else enjoy the seat that month.

Third, we ask that you participate in the conversation, and that you do so in a friendly and respectful fashion. There’s nothing worse than a group where one person tries to dominate the discussion or dismisses another’s ideas.

How to Join.

To reserve a space, you only need to register and pay through Eventbrite.  You’ll receive an email confirming your registration.

What Else?
