The 2019 Masterclass Europe was hosted by Carlsberg/Kronenbourg in Obernai, France. The IBD Masterclass Europe 2019 kicked-off with the welcome evening at a traditional Alsatian restaurant at the heart of Obernai, where old contacts were renewed and new contacts made. The hot topic for 2019 was “Sustainability through Technology” and the full day technical seminar was opened by Jerry Avis and Michaela Appelbee-Miedl on behalf of the IBD. Myriam Shingleton (Vice President Product Development at Carlsberg Group) welcomed the attendees on behalf of the host and presented the history and company pro le of Carlsberg and introduced the strategic importance of sustainability to them. The nal day’s technical visit was to the Kronenbourg brewery and the Carlsberg Global Research Center in Obernai. A big thank you to our hosts Carlsberg, as well as to all of the event sponsors. A full report from the 2019 Masterclass, including details of all the presentations, will be in the December issue of BDI.
