Keynote Address: What is Your Profession?
Patrice M. Palmer, Assistant Dean of Social and Cultural Inclusion at Colorado State University’s College of Business
Join us for an empowering keynote that underlines the central question: “What is your profession?” Is it just about brewing exquisite craft beer or is it about something more significant? In a field that has historically lacked visual representation, we are uniquely positioned to challenge norms and catalyze meaningful change. As pillars in our communities, our breweries can do more than just produce beer; they can foster an environment where everyone feels seen, valued, and heard. As we raise our pint glasses, we also raise our voices for those unheard, for a more equitable industry, and for a stronger community fabric. Because our profession isn’t just about brewing beer, it’s about brewing change.
