The event will take place in the Beer Museum at Brewdog DogTap Columbus, 96 Gender Road, Canal Winchester. Registration for participants and tradeshow is on the Ohio Hop Growers Guild website, ohgg.org.

Keynote presentations will be from members of the Hop Quality Group. University specialists and industry experts will provide information on hop breeding, soil fertility, harvest timing, disease and insects. Panels of brewers and hop growers will also cover a wide array of topics including hops production, quality and marketing.
