December 6-8, 2026 • Los Angeles, CA
The founders are here. So is the deal flow.
BevNET Live brings together the highest concentration of emerging and scaling beverage brand founders in the industry — actively looking for capital, co-manufacturing partners, and strategic relationships.
This isn’t a trade show. This is access.
Meet the people shaping what comes next in beverage.
LinkedIn and cold emails can start a conversation. BevNET Live is where conversations move forward, and where first meetings turn into future partnerships.
You’ll have the opportunity to meet brands before they reach broader market exposure, connect directly with decision-makers actively building and scaling, and build relationships with founders searching for the right partners.
Thirty years of industry relationships. Three days. The brands shaping the next decade of CPG will be there.
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 they are still shaping their next raise, ask the questions that matter, and begin relationships before the process is already underway.
The beverage business runs on relationships. They rarely develop over email alone; they develop in person, across a table, with time for a real conversation.
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 due diligence in real time and an early look at the brands that may soon be raising, scaling, and looking for partners.
A Few Past Participants
Sampling
Evaluate the product with your own hands - and learn from those making it.
Sampling fridges are stocked throughout the event, and the Day 1 Happy Hour extends that access into an open, informal setting designed for real conversation.
When you pick up a product, the founder is often standing next to you — ready to answer questions about formulation, sourcing, scalability, and what the next line extension looks like. That context matters.
Category intelligence for sharper decisions
Sessions And Speakers
Market-level conversations on category trends, retail dynamics, and consumer behavior — delivered by the operators, executives, and analysts living them. Sessions provide sharper context for every conversation and 1:1 you have at the event.
The L.A. agenda is being finalized. Details announced as confirmed.
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.

Who You'll Meet
The People are the whole point.
BevNET Live brings together founders at pre-launch, Series A, and growth stages; strategic acquirers and institutional investors; retail buyers from national chains; distributors at regional and national scale; and the suppliers and service partners who make it all work.
The brands at BevNET Live are not here to browse. They are here because they are serious about building, scaling, and finding the right partners. Founders who attend BevNET Live are not shopping. They are deciding.
BevNET Live NYC drew more than 700 attendees.
BevNET Live L.A. deepens and expands that mix of buyers, investors, and operators.

What Founders Say
BevNET Live has positively impacted GHOST in a number of ways. And I'd encourage a lot of founders and other people in the industry to make sure that they get to the next one.
It compresses months of outreach and networking into a few focused days.
