MASH UP EVENTS AND PRESENTATIONS 

Last year we launched a series of state and national regular events and networking activities for the industry.

These activities are designed to be a relaxed offering where we share a beer, some nibbles and a brief presentation provided by a partner member.

The series was open to all within the brewing, local produce, supply chain and hospitality industry.

To date the IBA has delivered twelve B2B ‘Mash Up’ events across Australia and although the global pandemic has changed things, we are still offering these meets ups - just in a virtual way!
