December 6-8, 2026 • Los Angeles, CA
Traction opens doors. New relationships open more.
Every BevNET Live brings a different mix of buyers, investors, operators, and partners. That means new relationships to build, existing conversations to advance, and new opportunities for what comes next.
30 years of industry relationships
The network creates the next opportunity.
BevNET has spent 30 years building relationships across the beverage business. Each BevNET Live brings buyers, investors, operators, distributors, suppliers, and experienced founders together in a different mix.
For brands with traction, that means new channels to explore, strategic relationships to advance, and peer-level conversations around the decisions that come with scale.
Focused time with the people you came to meet
1:1 Meetings
The 1:1 meetings program creates focused conversations with retailers, investors, strategic partners, and experienced operators at BevNET Live.
Use that time to explore new channels, pressure-test expansion plans, discuss capital or strategic options, and advance the relationships most relevant to what comes next.
Meetings aren’t guaranteed, and calendars fill quickly. Register early to be considered sooner.

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.
It’s an unfiltered market read on what buyers notice, what investors question, and which products and ideas are gaining momentum.

BevNET Live gave us the chance to meet and build relationships with brands and industry people from across the country; competing and winning early on gave us an invaluable level of confidence.
At BevNET Live and Brewbound Live, everyone's in the room in one place. It's an extremely productive time for founders, operators, and dreamers alike.
