BevNET Live Winter '13 is just one week away, and there are less than 10 tickets remaining for the event! If you haven't yet signed up for the conference, which will be held on December 9 and 10 in Santa Monica, Calif., NOW IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER.
Soda keeps shrinking, but beverages keep growing. That's going to create opportunities for new products and brands -- about $7 billion worth, according a presentation at BevNET Live by Neil Kimberley. Kimberley will be joined by Odwalla/Califia Farms founder Greg Steltenpohl and Bonnie Herzog, a beverage analyst with Wells Fargo, to dissect factors that will affect innovators' ability to compete with large beverage entities and existing brands for shelf space and consumer adoption.
BevNET is delighted to announce that attendees of BevNET Live will get two perspectives from inside the country’s largest convenience store chain, 7-Eleven. Julie Whittle, the Category Manager for Soft Drinks and Energy, will speak on getting into 7-Eleven and staying in, while Raja Doddala, VP of Portfolio Management, will discuss a new venture capital model that is emanating from the retailer itself: 7-Ventures.
At BevNET Live in Santa Monica, BevNET will bring together a group of three of the best “secret weapons” in the business – a trio of experienced beverage entrepreneurs who have gone on to work with companies as investors, board members, and advisors and who are highly cognizant of the factors that cause companies to succeed or fail. Together, they will discuss the repeated challenges and some of the most effective ways they have seen for companies to assess their performance.
In programming that will focus on the needs of small and unique companies, BevNET Live attendees will hear about selling their products in one of the world’s fastest-growing fitness innovators, as well as from an investor focused on helping small companies succeed through early intervention during the program, which will take place in Santa Monica on Dec. 9 and 10.
With BevNET Live less than two weeks away, there are only 25 tickets still available. Now might be your last chance to join the almost 500 attendees already registered (including beverage companies, investors, suppliers, retailers, and more). In addition, we've updated the agenda for BevNET Live to include the most recent additions to our lineup.
