Just to follow up on Wolfman's comment, home brewer's would not get a lot out of this conference, much of it was based on business perspective of running a brewery.
I also attended as a volunteer along with Wolfman and carniebrew and I did it to support CBIA because I want to see the growth of craft beer in Australia, not as a home brew development tool, that will be ANHC in Canberra later in the year.
Wolfman, was great to work with you again, carniebrew awesome to meet you, had a great couple of days messing about with the both of you.
