Carlsberg CEO to keynote Canadean beer conference

THE CEO of Carlsberg, J?rgen Buhl Rasmussen, will deliver the keynote address at Canadean's 8th International Beer Conference, being held in Copenhagen on 29-30 May 2012. Mr Rasmussen will be joined in Copenhagen by a very strong line-up of speakers including Henrik Brandt, president & CEO, Royal Unibrew; Stephen Glancey, CEO of C&C Group; David Thompson, chairman of Marstons; Douglas Brodman, CEO and MD of SABMiller/Plzensky Prazdroj; Florence Guesnet, senior Global Consumer Knowledge director, Heineken; John O'Keefe, Beer Category director at Diageo; Henry Chevallier Guild, partner at Aspall Cider; Kasper Madsen, senior advisor, Boston Consulting Group (and former SVP of Carlsberg); Bob Morrison, co-founder of brand building agency Elephants Can't Jump; Dr. Stefan Lustig, COO of BrauHolding International and president of the European Brewing Convention; and Pierre Olivier Bergeron, secretary general of the Brewers of Europe. 

This year's conference on 'Delivering Growth in an Uncertain World' is particularly appropriate amidst continuing economic uncertainty in many developed markets, said Canadean. "In this environment, the benefits of meeting and discussing the key issues are greater than ever," said Kevin Baker, director of Canadean's Beer Division. "We believe that this year's conference will provide the ideal venue for delegates to get together and debate these issues with other industry leaders and experts."
