About the BMTC
The Beer Marketing & Tourism Conference (BMTC) provides hard information about the important and growing functions of beer marketing and beer tourism that you can bring home to both grow and improve your local offerings. Attendees include breweries, brewery guilds, Destination Management Organizations, tour operators, bloggers and media, and others. We expect from 250 – 350 people at the 2019 conference, making it large enough to be valuable networking and small enough to meet your peers.
Boise, Idaho
Idaho has 58 breweries, which puts it 10th in the US in terms of breweries per capita by state. And like many smaller cities, the craft beer scene in Boise is booming.
You will have the opportunity to sample this beer culture via the following events:
- Optional evening party at Payette Brewing
- Dinner, tour, and tasting at Gooding Farms hop farm
- Lunch and beer tasting courtesy of the Idaho Ag
- Optional post-conference Ski With the Brewers reception and night skiing
Host Hotel
Our host hotel is The Riverside Hotel in Boise, Idaho. We have a room block with rates of only $129, including free WiFi and airport shuttle. We will provide a booking link shortly.
Getting There
The Boise Airport is, of course, the main airport of the state of Idaho with direct flights to all major west coast cities plus Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Denver, Dallas, Houston, Minneapolis, and Chicago. We recognize there are no direct flights from the East Coast but believe those of you out east will find it well worth it to make it to Boise. Major airlines serving the city include Alaska, Allegiant, America, Delta, Southwest, and United. The hotel provides free airport shuttles.

Conference Organizer
The Beer Marketing & Tourism Conference is organized by Zephyr Conferences, organizer of the:
- Beer Bloggers & Writers Conference
- International Food Blogger Conference
- Wine Bloggers Conference
- Wine Marketing & Tourism Conference
But in truth, we are simply a bunch of active travelers who have been running tours around the world for 20 years as part of Zephyr Adventures and Taste Vacations. We love beer, wine, and food in addition to travel so, about ten years ago, started running active tours that focused on these aspects of our culture. That got us into conference organizing in the same industries. But everything we do is still all about doing what we love.
