About this Event

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 may be loosely facilitated around a particular “topic of the month,” but we go wherever the conversation takes us.

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 by the company) and inspired. That’s it. Will you make some new friends? Sure. But the free exchange of ideas is the primary goal.

The objective is to limit each monthly group to 20-25 people at most — 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. We may tinker with that number over time until we settle on what seems to work best.

Only one person from a specific niche 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.) If you register and your industry is already represented, we'll let you know prior to the day of the next event.

If you can’t make it one month, we ask that you let us know, so that those who would like to take part can do so if one of the “regulars” is leaving a seat vacant that month.

We ask three things each month. First, that you repay our host’s hospitality by partaking of their fine craft beers or other beverages.

Second, 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.

Third, 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.
