BourbonBlog.com has been attending and covering Craft Beverage Expo and Conferences for many years ever since they started in California. A few years back, they moved
to Louisville, Kentucky. It is truly incredible and we recommend it!

engagement, real-time education sessions, and interactive entertainment. There will be live sponsor sessions as well as one-on-one video meetings with exhibitors and other
attendees.
According to Kellie Shevlin, Executive Director of CBE, “After already hosting successful webinars this year, we realized the benefits to our industry to expand our online education and business development strategy. That includes developing monthly webinars and an incredible online series for Craft Beverage Expo and Distribution Conference, spanning much of 2021 and culminating with a live event in Louisville October 18-20, 2021. Staying
connected is now more important than ever and we can deliver the tools you need for your beverage business and career going forward.”
Online attendees will be able to access exhibitors and insightful industry information as part of keynotes, panel discussions, and professional development content. Shevlin added, “We are thrilled that key exhibitors and the craft beverage vendor community fully support our decision. They are excited to be able to continue to
connect with attendees and showcase their innovative products and services, many of which address the new business environment.”
