Minneapolis, MN (September 15, 2016)—Beverage Dynamics is pleased to announce the inaugural Beverage Alcohol Retailers Conference (BARC), taking place on June 12-14, 2017 in Minneapolis, MN. The conference will bring together top retailers, offering in-person education and networking, something lacking in the off-premise industry.
BARC is an opportunity for retailers to gain information about new products, in-store innovations and best practices, as well as a chance to share information with fellow business owners to improve operations.
“The Beverage Dynamics readership of 50,000 beverage retailers urged us to create this event to help improve their businesses and discuss best practices with industry leaders,” says Beverage Dynamics editor Jeremy Nedelka. BARC will truly be one of the first events of its kind.
BARC has an exclusive partnership with the Wine & Spirits Education Trust and American Wine School to offer Level 2 Wine and Spirits certification to attendees. Candidates for the certification will register for an online course for a separate fee, which includes a prep session and exam given in-person at the conference.
Suppliers and distributors have an opportunity to become a BARC sponsor, which will give them exclusive access to the event. Sponsors will support education for large and small retailers, helping them increase the profitability of crowded shelf space. Sponsors also have the opportunity to improve communication with retailers through networking events, while also gaining important consumer and trade insights from data analysts.
Registration and sponsorship information is available at www.BevRetailersConference.com. Registration is now open, so visit the BARC website today to secure your early bird rate before prices increase on February 9. Seating for BARC is limited.
