2023 Highlights
Over the two-day conference, attendees heard from NBWA leadership, inspirational business experts, industry veterans and their Next Gen peers – all while competing with one another for exciting prizes in the “Next Gen Games.” General Session speakers included former CIA and FBI special agent Tracy Walder, business consultant Cari Coats, communications and public affairs strategist Erin Billings, and many more.
“Connecting with other emerging leaders across the country is an important way to build lasting relationships that will help guide the beer distribution industry into the future,” said NBWA Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Kim McKinnish. “As we write beer’s next chapter, conference attendees will play an important role in ensuring the beer and beverage distribution industry continues to adapt while also championing the policies and practices that have made this great industry what it is today.”
