A few notes about tickets, as well as reminders and details about the festivities:

Tickets
**PLEASE NOTE: As a thanks for their early commitment to eventually-canceled events, those who originally purchased tickets to last year's iteration will get the first chance to purchase tickets before there is any full, public sale.

Everyone who purchased tickets last year will receive an email on Wednesday, 3.9 with a special link and unique Eventbrite ticket code for 2022 tickets. These tickets will be offered in the same quantity as the original 2021 purchase, meaning if you ordered 2 tickets in 2021 you can order up to 2 this year, etc. This pre-sale will start Thursday, 3.10 at 10am MST and run through Thursday, 3.17 at 7pm MST. We will also give first shot at the DoubleTree hotel block to those earlier ticket holders, and info about that block will go out on Friday, 3.11 at 10am MST to allow time for ticket sales prior to opening up the block.

If there are any tickets remaining after the pre-sale is over, those will go on-sale Saturday, 3.19 at 10am MST. We will update everyone via social media as to whether any tickets are actually left and, if so, approximately how many. We thank everyone for their patience with this method, as we only felt it fair to give preference to those who purchased in 2021.

If you have any questions leading up to the event, please email invitational@weldwerksbrewing.com and we will do our best to reply as soon as possible. We look forward to seeing everyone in June!

Please contact conduct@weldwerks.com if you believe you’ve observed or experienced a violation of this Code of Conduct, and WeldWerks Invitational Festival staff will work to assess the situation and to respond as soon as possible. A phone number to reach WIF staff directly will be provided ahead of the event.

The WeldWerks Invitational Festival (WIF), first and foremost, is about showcasing both the best of craft beer as well as the amazing community that has sprung up and flourished around this ancient beverage. To that end, we at WeldWerks feel a responsibility to ensure the comfort and safety of every single individual involved in the fest, and so we have created the following Code of Conduct that every single participant - be it brewer, staff member, volunteer, attendee, or sponsor - is required to abide by. We want nothing but fun, relaxation and fellowship throughout the entire weekend, and this is one small way of helping to guarantee that for everyone.

Everyone deserves to operate and co-exist in an environment where each individual is treated with dignity and respect. WIF is committed to providing an environment free of discrimination and from abusive, offensive, or harassing behavior. Therefore, all WIF participants, defined as staff, brewers, volunteers, attendees, sponsors and other representatives, must:

• Treat all individuals and groups respectfully, recognizing their human dignity, regardless of their diverse human characteristics.
• Contribute to a positive environment that is free of hostile and offensive behaviors in any form, i.e. free of harassment. Harassment is not necessarily sexual in nature although it may be. 
• Take proactive steps to prevent and stop such behavior. It is not sufficient for participants to merely refrain from engaging in this type of behavior. Refraining from this behavior while knowingly allowing others to engage in it constitutes implied encouragement or tolerance. Participants therefore have an affirmative obligation to speak out against such behavior wherever and whenever they see it.
• Speak out without fear of retaliation when the actions of others violate the rights of any individuals or groups. Participants that engage in retaliation against those that speak out against harassment are equally as culpable as those that engage in harassment.
• Respect the opinions of others and address conflicts in a positive and constructive manner.
• Treat all individuals and groups professionally and respect their personal property.

All event participants agree to abide by this Code of Conduct as a condition to participating in the WIF. WIF may take action in its discretion to address any individual(s) or group(s) it believes fail to meet the standards set forth in this Code of Conduct, including, without limitation, revoking the violating parties’ credentials without refund.

Responsible Alcohol Consumption

• In consuming alcoholic beverages, participants must adhere to principles of responsible consumption.
• Participants must protect the reputation of both the WIF and the brewing industry generally by taking steps to ensure no member, including themselves, will break any laws in the process of sharing or consuming of alcohol beverages in association with WIF.
• Should any participants consume more than a reasonable amount of alcohol and either are or appear to be incapable of functioning, either legally or appropriately, WIF participants accept their duty-to-act to keep those impaired members from breaking any laws and from harming themselves or others.

Reporting

• Please contact conduct@weldwerks.com if you believe you’ve observed or experienced a violation of this Code of Conduct, and WeldWerks Invitational Festival staff will work to assess the situation and to respond as soon as possible. A phone number to reach WIF staff directly will be provided ahead of the event.
• Notifying WIF staff does not constitute or replace a notification to local law enforcement. All suspected violations of the law should be reported to local law enforcement. For emergencies, immediately dial 9-1-1. For non-emergencies, the Greeley Police Department is available at (970) 350-9600.
