What is the “On Tap” Series: “On Tap” is a way for the Hudson Valley’s Thought Leaders — Industry Experts • Academics • Successful Entrepreneurs • Consultants — to share valuable insights at our favorite regional breweries or pubs, with a focus on providing useful information that attendees can learn from and incorporate into their business practices (practical, actionable, useful). In short, it’s professional development without the formality – creating an environment where real learning, networking, and fun naturally blend together.
