Introducing Community Call: A Series of Expert Conversations Inviting Your Participation

Community Call

BevNET and NOSH presents: Community Call, a recurring series of open meetings dedicated to pressing topics impacting food and beverage businesses. Topics on the docket include: learning the formula for a successful Expo West exhibit; how to successfully pitch media for coverage; and how to follow up post trade show to get business done.

“Our plan is to do a lot of these.” said Melissa Traverse, BevNET’s Director of Community and host of Community Call. “We already have some impressive experts lined up – in fact, we kick off with Belgian Boys CEO, Anouk Gottlieb – to help provide insights and answer questions.” She added “Our team will be suggesting ideas based on what we are seeing in the industry. Plus, we want to prioritize suggestions from the community for future calls.”

Community Call sessions are free and open to the public – just register in advance and mark your calendars! It’s as easy as jumping into a 30 minute Zoom meeting.
