NBWA’s Annual Convention is designed to provide valuable education programs and important networking opportunities for the beer industry. Education programs offered during the convention feature speakers and seminars on a number of topics of importance to beer distributors. Scheduled each year in the fall, the NBWA Convention takes place in a different city within the United States. During non-tradeshow years, NBWA's associate members and brewery members host hospitalities to maintain their business contacts and form new connections and relationships with distributors.
