The Pink Boots Society Conference wrapped up a few weeks ago. The every-other-year occasion brings together women and non-binary identifying beer industry professionals together to learn, network, and build community.

Our best buddy and fellow Funk Buster, Stacey O’Connor, was in attendance this year and joined us for a few beers to fill us in what the conference looked like. Everything from early morning talks, late-night brewery meetups, mentorship spaces, Zen dens for our neurodivergent friends.

Tune in for updates on what issues Pink Boots is tackling in the industry today, how the organization looks to expand its reach and resources in Washington State, and how they (maybe accidentally?) ended up on a government watch list!
