2020 was a tough year for all, but the alcohol-beverage industry has undoubtedly bounced back even stronger, and now, The International Bulk Wine & Spirits Show (IBWSS) is back in action. Set to take place on November 9-10, 2021 in San Francisco, IBWSS has announced the first round of speakers for its highly anticipated two-day conference. 

Each year, IBWSS San Francisco brings together producers, manufacturers, brand owners, distributors, and retailers within the fast-growing U.S. private label and bulk wine and spirits industry. With a diverse lineup of speakers planned, it will be possible to view the rapidly growing private label and bulk wine industry from a number of unique perspectives and open up innovative solutions for participants.

Headlining the conference this year are:

Todd Azevedo, Wine & Grape Broker, Partner at Ciatti

Bruce Abbott, Wine & Spirits Category Manager at Brown Jug Alaska, Alaska

Joe Padilla, SVP of Business Development - Summerland Wine Brands, and MBA at Sonoma State University Wine Business Institute.

The Speakers at IBWSS San Francisco, like every year, will focus on ways to help grow the bottom line of industry participants. They will discuss a variety of perspectives, including new go-to-market strategies, best practices, and tactics to leverage important new and ever-changing trends. 

“This is really a unique opportunity to hear about new opportunities in the bulk wine & spirits and private label industry,” said Sid Patel, Founder, and CEO of Beverage Trade Network, the organizers of the conference. 

To help bring the themes and concepts of the keynote speakers to life, IBWSS San Francisco 2020 will also include an active trade show floor where producers and manufacturers can meet face-to-face with brand owners, suppliers, distributors, and retailers. Not only is IBWSS a great learning opportunity for both participants and winners, but it’s also a top-notch business platform that will help in connecting with those in the industry, building new relationships, and discussing new partnership ideas.
