Fresh Fest Digi Fest

Saturday, August 8, 2020
12:00 pm – 9:00 pm

Fresh Fest in the nation’s first Black beer festival and second best in the nation, according to USA Today. The annual event showcases the country’s most talented Black brewers, along with breweries from across the globe in collaboration with Black artists, entrepreneurs, politicians, and business owners.

These imaginative partnerships include brew collaborations, label designs, and/or food pairings for a new beer released exclusively at Fresh Fest. Established in 2018 by the Drinking Partners and Black Brew Culture, Fresh Fest attracts thousands of craft beer industry veterans and connoisseurs as well as novices from across the country to enjoy unique beers, ciders, and spirits while celebrating the Black diaspora.

But Fresh Fest is more than just a festival; it is a community initiative that seeks to economically empower the Black community by promoting and providing access, opportunities, and representation in a $119B industry with less than 1% Black ownership or employment. To accomplish these goals, Fresh Fest offers symposiums, live events featuring Black artists and musicians, digital education, and community outreach programs, to name a few.

In the event of a tie – we will have a numerical tie breaker questions – the closest to the correct number wins!

IEE MEMBER EVENT

Headlines are full of well-known executives indicted for white-collar crimes. Perplexed as to what drives successful, wealthy people to risk it all, Harvard Business School professor Eugene Soltes took a journey deep into the minds of white-collar criminals. It turns out most of these executives are not reckless or driven by excessive greed, but make decisions the way we all do – on the basis of their intuitions and gut feelings. The trouble is, these gut feelings are often poorly suited for the modern business world. Book will be provided.
