The Hāpi Symposium is more than a day of talks — it's a gathering of the world's leading hop minds, brewers, and researchers, set against the stunning backdrop of Sunrise Valley at the Freestyle Hops farm in Upper Moutere.

Whether you're deep into fermentation science, passionate about hop terroir, or simply chasing the freshest ideas in brewing innovation, this is the event to feed your curiosity and expand your network.

Join us to:

• Hear cutting-edge insights from global experts in hop breeding, biotransformation, and sensory science
