December 6-8, 2026 • Los Angeles, CA
Where early-stage brands build real traction.
BevNET Live brings together the buyers, investors, and operators who can move the needle for brands at your stage.
You don't need another trade show. You need people who can open doors you're qualified to walk through.
BevNET Live is where mid and late stage brands come to expand into new channels, close strategic relationships, and have real conversations with investors and operators who understand the complexity of scaling.
Whether you're pursuing retail growth, co-manufacturing conversations, a raise, or exit planning, you’ll find the kind of insights that, take months to accumulate otherwise.
1:1 Meetings
The 1:1 meetings program gives beverage brands a focused way to connect with retailers, investors, strategic partners, and experienced operators at BevNET Live.
These scheduled conversations are an opportunity to ask questions, hear feedback, make relevant introductions, and start discussions that can continue throughout the event and beyond.
Come prepared with clear goals, thoughtful questions, and a strong sense of what you want to move forward. Meetings aren’t guaranteed, but registering early gives you a better chance to be considered before calendars fill.

Sessions and speakers
Sessions cover the decisions growing brands are actively navigating — retail expansion, new channel entry, fundraising, M&A, acquirer expectations, margin protection, and distribution growth — delivered by founders and executives who've operated through the same inflection points you're facing.
New Beverage Showdown
A real-time read on where the market is heading
As emerging brands present, a panel of retail buyers, investors, and brand executives delivers direct feedback on what's working, what's not, and what they're looking for in the brands they buy, back, or build.
For mid and late-stage operators, it's unfiltered market intelligence delivered live, in real time.

Sampling
Put your product in front of decision makers.
Sampling fridges are active throughout the event, and Day 1 closes with a Happy Hour bringing the full attendee roster together — buyers, investors, founders, distributors, all in one place.
At BevNET Live, a sampling moment isn't just a sampling moment. It's a tasting with a Whole Foods buyer, or a first impression with an investor who's actively deploying capital. The context is high-signal. Use it.

What Past Attendees 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.
Our 1:1 with Whole Foods was super worthwhile. I came prepared with pointed questions specific to their business and took copious notes. Do your research ahead of time and make the conversation count.
