🎤 Like reading Fingers, but in real life!
I’m excited to finally be able to announce I’ll be delivering the keynote address at the Ontario Craft Brewers’ annual conference later this year!
I’ve got select availability left in 2026 for for speaking engagements. If you’d like to book me to present my award-winning reporting on the beverage-alcohol industry to your conference/retreat/team/etc., get in touch at [email protected] to discuss further!
See Fingers’ ethics statement about speaking engagements here.
