Engulfing New York City’s Metropolitan Pavilion with over 500 beverage entrepreneurs, suppliers, retailers, distributors, BevNET Live featured a whirlwind of education, networking, and growth opportunities in its biggest show to date. With some of the beverage industry’s best taking the stage as well as an industry expo packed with flavor houses, packaging suppliers, and bottlers, BevNET Live offered attendees a wide range of ways to learn how to grow and develop their businesses.

BevNET Live will feature a June 5 presentation from VEB’s Tom Larsen on the organizational strategy behind the growth of Illy Issimo, a brand developed in partnership with Illycaffe, an international coffee company based in Trieste, Italy.

Launching entrepreneurial brands often means more than just building a new beverage — it also means helping create a whole new category and introducing it to new retail channels as well. That’s a challenge entrepreneurs understand, but they can only carry things forward a certain distance on their own — beyond that, they must rely on other links in the retailing chain.

BevNET Live will feature a highly original presentation on new product introduction, marketing, and merchandising, courtesy of Presence Marketing/Dynamic Presence founder and CEO Bill Weiland.
