We at Zephyr Adventures, organizers of the Beer Bloggers Conference and European Beer Bloggers Conference, are changing up roles of some of our employees and assigning a new Community Manager.

Cindy Molchany, who is currently the Community Manager, is moving to the tour side of Zephyr Adventures to handle our tour marketing. As you might know, Zephyr Adventures is also an adventure travel company with a specialty in active food, beer, and wine tours. We are doubling up on this by creating a whole new travel company brand, Taste Vacations, that will launch in early June. Taste Vacations will run food, beer, wine, and spirits tours around the world – without the active hiking and biking component.

We’ll be back in touch about this as we would like to work with you, our beer blogger community. We will be establishing an affiliate program that will pay a substantial commission – up to $600 – for each referral you send to us. Details to come.

Sarah Wolcott will be the new Community Manager of the BBC. Sarah is already one of the Zephyr Adventures team and has attended several of our conferences. You will get to know her as she handles the BBC social media, sends out newsletters and emails, handles the annual Beer Bloggers Survey, and updates the Complete List of Beer Blogs. Although she will not attend EBBC in Dublin (Cindy’s ticket is already booked), she will be at BBC in San Diego.
