The National Beer Wholesalers Association (NBWA) Annual Convention is the beer distribution industry’s premier event. It provides valuable education programs and important networking opportunities for beer distributors and others in the beer industry. In addition to an exciting lineup of keynote speakers and educational seminars, NBWA's associate members and brewery members host hospitalities to maintain their business contacts and form new connections and relationships with distributors. The NBWA Trade Show, held every other year in Las Vegas, Nevada, in conjunction with the Annual Convention, gives beer distributors an opportunity to interact with brewers and vendors and make valuable contacts for future business needs. It introduces distributors to new brewers as well as new products, innovative technologies and vendors who supply the materials needed to run their operations.
