The NBWA Annual Convention provides valuable education programs and networking opportunities for the beer industry. Held each year in the fall, the NBWA Convention takes place in a different city within the United States during even-numbered, non-trade show years. Every odd-numbered year, the convention is held in conjunction with the biennial Trade Show in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Trade Show introduces distributors to new brewers and products, innovative technologies and vendors who supply the materials needed to run their operations.
