Brewbound Live 2023: Rhinegeist Leaders to Discuss Leadership Change, Focus & Getting Out of Your Own Way

Brewbound Live Winter 2023

Adam Bankovich, the new CEO of Cincinnati’s Rhinegeist Brewery, will give the keynote address at the 2023 Brewbound Live business conference December 6 + 7 in Marina del Rey, California.

Amid a sea change of leadership at top craft breweries across the country, Bankovich represents the next wave of craft leadership at a brewery that just celebrated its 10th anniversary.

Bankovich will also share how Rhinegeist is taking a more focused approach as it moves into the future.

Following the keynote address, Bankovich will be joined on stage by Rhinegeist co-founder Bryant Goulding for a discussion of passing the torch to the next generation of leaders, getting out of your own way, why it’s OK to say no and much more.

Brewbound Live takes place December 6 and 7 in Marina del Rey, California, at the Marina Del Rey Marriott Hotel (4100 Admiralty Way, Marina Del Rey, CA). Tickets are available now.
