December 6-8, 2026 • Los Angeles, CA
The founders are here. So are the opportunities.
BevNET Live brings you closer to beverage founders while decisions around capital, production, growth, and strategic partnerships are still taking shape.
30 years of industry relationships
The network is the opportunity.
For 30 years, BevNET has built relationships across every side of the beverage business. BevNET Live brings those connections together with founders actively making decisions about capital, production, distribution, growth, and who they want beside them for what comes next.
Cold outreach can start a conversation. Being there while those decisions are taking shape can move one forward.
Meet founders before the next move
1:1 Meetings
For participating hosts, One-to-One meetings are pre-scheduled, focused conversations with founders you have chosen to meet. You review requests and approve the companies most relevant to your category focus, stage preferences, and goals.
Meet founders while their next raise, expansion, or partnership is still taking shape. Ask the questions that matter and begin the relationship before the process is already underway.
New Beverage Showdown
A first look at the brands ushering in the next wave of beverage.
Finalists pitch live on stage while an expert panel delivers real-time feedback on the product, positioning, business model, and market opportunity. You see founders under pressure, answering hard questions and defending their assumptions in public.
Many are pre-next-round, pre-national distribution, and still early in the broader market's deal flow. Every finalist on that stage is a relationship worth having.
The Showdown is a real-time read on the brands that may soon be raising, expanding production, entering new channels, and choosing new partners.
A Few Past Participants
Sampling
Evaluate the product with your own hands - and learn from those making it.
Sampling fridges and coolers are stocked throughout the event, giving you a direct way to explore products across categories. Product discovery extends well beyond the fridge, with sampling happening throughout BevNET Live and the founders and teams behind those products often close by.
Taste what’s new, ask about formulation, sourcing, what comes next, and connect the product in your hand to the people behind it.
Category intelligence for sharper decisions
Sessions and Speakers
Market-level conversations on category trends, retail dynamics, consumer behavior, and growth strategy, delivered by the operators, executives, and analysts living them. Sessions provide sharper context for every conversation and 1:1 you have at the event.
Extend your presence
Visibility beyond attendance.
Attending BevNET Live puts you in the building. Sponsorship puts you in front of the entire event — before, during, and after.
Whether your goal is brand recognition, direct lead generation, or positioning your company as a key infrastructure partner in the CPG space, sponsorship extends your reach beyond the conversations you can personally have over three days.

Early access to emerging brands
Meet brands while the next decision still matters.
From pre-launch through growth, founders come to BevNET Live with active business needs. They are evaluating capital, production, distribution, retail expansion, and strategic partners for what comes next.
The opportunity is not simply meeting the brand. It is building the relationship while those decisions are still being made.
BevNET Live NYC drew more than 700 attendees.
