Beverage School is designed as a lead-in to the BevNET Live event and will give brands a quick immersion in some of the tactics and early challenges that beverage companies will face. It’s also a way to begin building dialogue with other early-stage entrepreneurs and introduce the set of common industry terms and concepts that are frequently heard both throughout BevNET Live and throughout the CPG business.
Beverage School is just one more great opportunity to maximize the value of the BevNET Live Summer 2023 event, both for startups and for beverage companies who are hoping to expose employees who are new to the business to some of the key terminology and objectives of their positions.
