The Brewbound Pitch Slam, presented by Ollie, returns to the Brewbound Live business conference on December 6 + 7 in Marina del Rey, California. The annual competition provides an opportunity for startups in beer and beverage-alcohol to pitch their product, generate industry awareness, and open the door for new partnerships.
How It Works:
Emerging beer category brands will provide attendees a look into the future of the industry. The competition kicks off on Day 1 of Brewbound Live with 12 semifinalists presenting rapid fire pitches to a panel of expert judges. Six brands will advance to the final round, taking place on Day 2. The judges will then decide who takes home the winning title and a Brewbound advertising package valued at $10,000.
