New Belgium's chief supply chain officer Tom O'Connell will walk attendees through how the company built resilience through disruption following Hurricane Helene. On Sept. 27, 2024, the hurricane didn't just flood New Belgium brewery with up to six feet of water; it severed power, water, and over 400 transit routes, slashing New Belgium’s network capacity by 25%. The sixth-month recovery is a blueprint for how an agile leadership team, a strong distribution network, and a people-first philosophy can transform a catastrophic disaster into a foundation for long-term operational resilience.
