Past attendees have landed retail placements, spotted new brands and found their next investments at BevNET Live. Here’s what a few of them had to say:
“I love the Showdown — I think that format is an amazing way for new brands like ours to be introduced to the decision makers of the industry… We’re in big places like CVS, Gelson’s, and Sprouts because of the New Beverage Showdown.” – Scarlett Leung, Co-Founder, Pretty Tasty
“As a category manager, BevNET Live is where I get early visibility into what’s coming. The Sampling Bar, New Beverage Showdown, and hallway conversations give me a real read on where innovation is heading before it hits my desk as a submission. That’s hard to get anywhere else.” – Charlie New, Category Merchant Manager – Beverage, Amazon + Whole Foods
“I’ve met founders at BevNET events whom I later invested in, and relationships that began at these conferences have ultimately led to board opportunities. There aren’t many industry conferences where I can draw such a direct line between attending an event and meaningful investments, business relationships and career opportunities.” – Tyler Ricks, Managing Partner & Venture Investor, Ricks Family Ventures
“The breadth of knowledge sharing and community building is invaluable. And for a notoriously difficult industry, attending BevNET Live helped me feel more informed, empowered, and a little less alone.” – Sahra Nguyen, Founder & CEO, Nguyen Coffee Supply
