Alcoholic Beverage Outreach Program

The Alcoholic Beverage Control Division (ABCD) is dedicated to supporting voluntary compliance through education and outreach. View the upcoming events where you’ll find us or submit a request for ABCD to participate in your event or provide education on requested topics.

Stay up-to-date with the Montana Department of Revenue’s news, rules announcements and updates by subscribing to our newsletter.

Invite us to your event

We are available to participate in conferences, meetings, webinars, or other outreach events related to our mission. We may not be able to accommodate all requests, but in making our decision, among other things, we will consider:

  • Does the event fit within our mission or strategic goals?
  • Do we have the resources to support it?

Please contact us at least 90 days in advance if at all possible. We will respond within two weeks of receiving your inquiry.

We are interested in your feedback on outreach activities. If you attended a recent webinar, seminar, presentation, or other outreach event, please submit your comments to DORABCD-O&E@mt.gov.
