From the creators of Cheers magazine, Cheers@Home, and Better Bartending, the Cheers Beverage Summit was created specifically for beverage executives. Imagine the amount of high-level education, networking, and new product/resource discovery when executives, beverage directors, and buyers from national chain and independent accounts spend two days making in-person connections.
This event's content covers industry benchmarks, best practices, cost-saving ideas, staff-training tips, promotional strategies, operational tactics, menu and drink development, food-pairing suggestions, and much more. The inspiring keynotes, thought-provoking panels, idea-generating breakout sessions, and unique networking opportunities make this event
A MUST-ATTEND FOR ON-PREMISE BEVERAGE PROFESSIONALS!
One of the unique factors of the Cheers Beverage Summit is that our Industry and Operator Advisory Boards help curate the content components of the Summit and also participate in CBS. This provides current hot topics within the on-premise industry.
