Every two years, the American Beverage Association hosts InterBev, the world's leading beverage tradeshow and convention. InterBev provides its attendees with the unparalleled information, educational programs and networking opportunities that give them everything they need to help compete in the global marketplace.
The convention and tradeshow bring together several thousand leaders and professionals from every sector of the beverage industry. These include producers, processors and distributors of all types of beverages - soft drinks, bottled water, dairy-based beverages, sports drinks, 100 percent juice and juice drinks, energy drinks, alcoholic beverages, distilled spirits, neutraceuticals and powdered drinks.
InterBev 2008 was held from October 20-23 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas. The 2008 convention marked the first time that the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) joined the ABA for the event, helping to expand InterBev's already impressive reach.
A Dynamic Trade Show
InterBev puts the best of the beverage industry under one roof. It features a dynamic exhibit floor with hundreds of exhibitors showcasing the latest beverage technology and equipment. These exhibitors have the opportunity to meet and interact with several thousand buyers of beverage systems and services. InterBev 2008's tradeshow featured a ‘Green Aisle' where companies could learn how to implement successful business practices that contribute to environmental sustainability. It also featured a ‘New Beverage Aisle' that provided previews of some of the leading beverages that will be coming to store shelves over the next year.
Unmatched Educational Opportunities
InterBev provides a unique chance for beverage executives to learn how to better operate their business. InterBev 2008 featured a four-day program organized around four themes: Trends, Sustainability, Operations/Management and Technical/Regulatory.
An Unrivaled Chance to Meet and Network
InterBev 2008 was attended by more than 3,000 beverage industry professionals - and that number continues to climb with each show. InterBev is also a chance to interact with some of the leading publications who cover our industry, including Beverage World and Beverage Industry magazines.
With both its broad scope and detailed programs, InterBev is an unrivaled opportunity for beverage companies and executives to make themselves and their businesses better equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
