Cast & Connect: The Pour Registration Officially Opens

Cast & Connect: The Pour — A Must-Attend Evening for Foundry Leaders

If you left our Industry Executive Conference wanting more opportunities to connect, NFFS is bringing together 100 foundry leaders, suppliers, and decision-makers for Cast & Connect: The Pour — an evening of meaningful connection and community at Founders’ Brewing Company on Tuesday, April 14, 2026.

This isn’t another crowded reception or rushed meet-and-greet. There’s no formal program, no ballroom, no structure — just great conversation, strong pours (beer and non-beer options available), light bites, and the kind of discussions that don’t happen over email.

Whether you’re talking strategy, sharing challenges from the shop floor, or swapping stories about melt costs and delivery pressures, the best business in our industry doesn’t always happen across a conference table. It happens between pours, over shared wins and hard lessons, with people who truly understand the work you do.

And for a little extra fun, you can even take an optional behind-the-scenes brewery tour to see precision and process from a different angle — because whether you’re pouring metal or pouring a pint, craftsmanship still matters.
