America’s largest annual craft brewing industry gathering assembles 13,000 attendees to participate in more than 96 different seminars, featuring thought leaders in the beer and business worlds. This year, CBC will also serve as the home to the World Beer Cup®, known as the “Olympics of Beer,” the most prestigious biennial beer competition in the world.

Who
PepsiCo executive Richard Montañez will deliver this year’s keynote. The Los Angeles native started his PepsiCo career at Frito-Lay as a janitor when he came up with the idea for Flamin’ Hot Cheetos. His spicy creation, inspired by the flavors of his community, revitalized the brand and became a billion-dollar business. Montañez rose from janitor to Vice President of Multicultural Sales & Community Activation. Montañez is known for his visionary leadership, ability to innovate and his commitment to diversity. Fox Searchlight Films is set to release a film based on Montañez’s life called “Flamin’ Hot.”
