The California Craft Brewers Association is proud to introduce the Summit Hosted Buyers Program at the 2019 California Craft Beer Summit in Long Beach, September 12-14.
The Summit Hosted Buyers Program is geared towards out-of-state buyers, connecting them with CA Craft Beer Summit exhibitors and sponsors over the course of the three-day event.
Participants in the Summit Hosted Buyers Program will receive one complimentary Summit VIP weekend pass to the California Craft Beer Summit with full access to the Summit Expo, Summit educational seminars, Summit Beer Festival, and associated Summit networking events. This is a great opportunity for those looking to build relationships within the beer industry, whether that is meeting over 150 new vendors or suppliers from across the U.S., expanding business equipment or operations, or building relationships with hundreds of brewery owners from the industry. This is also a great opportunity for education on topics including marketing, hospitality, HR, finance, and California’s brewery-specific business and regulatory environment at dozens of educational seminars.
