Following the successful debut of a newly expanded Beverage Expo in 2023, SommCon is excited to invite professional alcohol beverage buyers to attend the 2024 Conference & Beverage Expo, October 5-7 in San Diego, California, as part of a new Hosted Buyer program. The Hosted Buyer program is an opportunity for on- and off-premise buyers, importers, and distributors representing multiple and national accounts to connect with domestic and international beverage brands in wine, beer, spirits, and the emerging low and no alcohol category.
Buyers will have the opportunity to learn alongside some of the greatest palates and thought leaders in the industry, choosing from more than 30 seminars and master classes during the three day symposium, and schedule meetings and tastings with producers during the Beverage Expo.
Hosted buyers receive a complimentary two-night stay at the SommCon host hotel, Town & Country Resort, and a SommCon All Access pass which includes:
Full access to SommCon Beverage Expo featuring more than 100 producers
Full conference registration
Access to Women in Craft Forum
Entry to SommCon sessions across six educational tracks
Show floor education: Buzz Stage, Fireside Chats, Fun & Games, and more
Access to all parties: Women in Craft Meet Up, Welcome Reception, SommChill
Bonus access to RNDC’s Fall Annual Portfolio Tasting
Applications for the Hosted Buyer program are now open. Space is very limited, interested buyers are encouraged to apply early.
Brands and producers interested in sponsoring the Hosted Buyer program should contact partner@sommconusa.com.
