At Brewbound Live 2025 (December 10-11 in L.A.), the 1:1 structured networking series returns to connect brewers and brands with the retailers and distributors who shape market access and growth across the beer and beverage-alcohol landscape. It’s a chance to align early, sharpen your strategy and build the kind of relationships that matter in an evolving industry.
What It Is
Instead of chance encounters in the hallway, 1:1 meetings give attendees 10-minute, pre-scheduled conversations with leaders who allocate shelf space, shape portfolios and build distribution plans across key regions and national accounts. These curated meetings are subject to approval to ensure they’re productive for both parties. Space is limited so register early to have the best chance to secure time with your top choices.
How It Works
- Who: Open exclusively to registered attendees
- What: 10-minute, pre-scheduled, private conversations with retailers and distributors
- When: Meetings run throughout Dec 10+11 of Brewbound Live 2025 in a designated area
- How: Brewers and brands request meetings with specific retailers and distributors; requests are reviewed and approved to ensure the best matches
- Host commitment: Each host will take 10-30 meetings across the event
Confirmed participants include leaders from Whole Foods Market, Breakthru Beverage, Sunset Distributing Company, Heimark Distributing LLC, with additional names to be announced in the coming weeks.
