Participating Meeting Hosts
From retail reset cycles and cost pressures to capital access and supply chain adaptation, today’s beverage entrepreneurs are navigating more complexity than ever. Whether you’re scaling a clean label innovation, entering club, or exploring M&A, these structured meetings give you direct time with experts who’ve lived it and are willing to share what worked (and what didn’t).

How 1:1 Meetings Work
Bring your brand, your pitch, or a market question and spend 10 focused minutes with a retailer or distributor who knows the category from the other side of the table.
- Retail: Discuss category fit, placement, account priorities, or expansion.
- Distribution: Talk through market fit, distributor priorities, and how to strengthen your approach.
- Sales: Sharpen the pitch or decision behind your next account or market push.

A Sample of Past 1:1 Hosts
What past attendees say
Through these meetings, I've built relationships with buyers that have lasted well beyond the conference. At minimum, it's a great opportunity for face-to-face feedback. At best, it's meaningful, lasting partnership-building.
One of the most valuable conversations was with a major retail chain looking to expand its better-for-you beverage offerings. It gave us the opportunity to share Holidaily’s story, discuss the growing demand for gluten-free beer, and land a mandate in our distribution footprint.
