Brewbound Live's 1:1 Meetings program returns to Brewbound Live 2026 (Dec. 9-10 at the Marina Del Rey Marriott Hotel), connecting beer and bev-alc brands with the retailers and distributors who decide what makes it onto shelves, into restaurants, and onto trucks.
Confirmed hosts so far include Heimark Distributing's Peter Heimark, a third-generation distributor and past chairman of the National Beer Wholesalers Association, along with category and beverage leaders from Whole Foods Market, Global Partners, Eureka! Restaurant Group and Sunset Distributing.
What It Is1:1 meetings are private, 10-minute conversations with confirmed hosts, pre-scheduled and approved in advance so both sides get real value out of the time. Past sessions have covered everything from distribution strategy and portfolio fit to what it actually takes to get picked up by a chain, a distributor, or an on-premise group.
How It Works
* Who: Open exclusively to registered Brewbound Live attendees.
* What: 10-minute, pre-scheduled, private conversations with confirmed hosts.
* When: Meetings run throughout Dec. 9-10 at Brewbound Live 2026 in a designated area.
