Uniting the U.S. Beverage Industry Exhibitor Prospectus U.S. BEVERAGE INDUSTRY INDUSTRY EXPO TRADE SHOW AND CONFERENCE February 16-18, 2016 Washington, D.C.
Something BIG is Happening in the Beverage Industry! INTRODUCING THE U.S. BEVERAGE INDUSTRY EXPO The U.S. Beverage Industry Expo (USBevEx) was established in response to countless requests over the last three years for a new, more inclusive trade show and conference. An event designed specifically to provide Beverage Industry Suppliers access to Eastern and Midwest Beer, Cider, Spirits and Wine Industry professionals all at one time. This unique business event will highlight the latest and most innovative products and services as well as feature an educational conference where attendees can listen to and learn from experts and proven winners. The event will provide twelve (12) hours of trade show time with six (6) hours of conference-free exhibit time. Exhibitors supporting the inaugural event will receive priority registration and booth placement for future trade shows as USBevEx establishes itself as the Must Attend event for the alcohol Beverage Industry. DO WE NEED ANOTHER EVENT? Despite the fact that the East Coast & Midwest have experienced tremendous growth in the Craft Beer, Cider, Spirits and Wine Industry over the last decade there is no trade event that serves the entire region. The state shows are very small in comparison to their West Coast counterparts, and industry suppliers have historically been required to travel and exhibit at multiple shows in secondary markets throughout the area to present their products and services. USBevX plans to change that by producing one, allencompassing trade show serving the entire region. This will allow exhibitors to focus their limited time and resources in a way that better guarantees a return on their investment. With more than 6,000 producers in the region, the USBevX is destined to become one of the most important beverage trade events in North America. Seize the opportunity to be a part of this inaugural event! Source: Source: usbevexpo.com/sources.php
