April 6-9, 2025 | Washington, D.C.

Now’s the time to make your voice heard and to share the story of why your business is essential to your community. During the conference programming, you’ll learn the strategic skills you need to advocate for your business in legislator meetings, local warehouse tours and beyond. Plus, you will hear insider political analysis and gain a deeper understanding of how federal policies affect your business from our team of experts.

What is Legislative Conference? The beer distribution industry’s opportunity to cut through the noise and bring your key issues directly to Capitol Hill through meetings with legislators and their staff on both sides of the aisle.

Why should I attend? As you likely know, without Congressional action several small business tax provisions that support Main Street, pass-through businesses like yours will expire next year. Your engagement will be critical as we educate a new group of legislators about our industry leading up to this tax fight. Don’t sit on the sidelines — make your voice heard!
