Do you produce bulk spirits, offer contract distilling, develop private-label products, or help spirits brands with blending, bottling, packaging, ingredients, compliance, or logistics?

Whatever role your company plays in the spirits supply chain, the International Bulk Wine and Spirits Show (IBWSS) USA gives you a focused platform to present your capabilities, meet commercial buyers, and generate new business.

IBWSS USA will take place on July 27–28, 2027, at the South San Francisco Conference Center.

Where the Spirits Supply Chain Meets

IBWSS USA is a B2B trade show and conference connecting spirits suppliers and service providers with importers, distributors, retailers, hospitality groups, brand owners, entrepreneurs, and sourcing professionals.

Unlike a consumer tasting event, IBWSS is built around commercial sourcing, production, and business development.

Buyers attend the show to find:

- Bulk whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, brandy and other spirits
- Contract distilleries and production partners
- Private-label and control-label suppliers
- Custom blending and product-development services
- RTD and alternative-format production
- Bottling, canning and co-packing solutions
- Ingredients, flavours and botanicals
- Packaging and closure suppliers
- Compliance, logistics and route-to-market support

Exhibitors have the opportunity to explain what they can produce, the services they offer and how they can help buyers bring successful products to market.

The Business of Better Sourcing

The 2027 IBWSS theme is “The Business of Better Sourcing.”

Today’s buyers and spirits brand owners need more than a good liquid. They need dependable partners who can support quality, pricing, production, packaging, compliance, logistics, and speed to market.

They are looking for suppliers who can help them:

- Source consistent bulk spirits
- Create distinctive private-label products
- Develop exclusive control-label ranges
- Bring new spirits brands from concept to market
- Produce and scale RTD products
- Improve quality while protecting margins
- Reduce product-development timelines
- Build more reliable and flexible supply chains

IBWSS brings these buyers together with the companies capable of delivering those solutions.

Who Should Exhibit?

IBWSS USA welcomes businesses from across the spirits supply chain, including:

- Distilleries and spirits producers
- Bulk spirits suppliers and brokers
- Contract distillers
- Private-label and control-label producers
- Custom blending and product-development companies

- RTD and ready-to-serve producers
- Bottlers, canners and co-packers

Turn Production Capacity into New Opportunities

Distilleries and contract producers can use IBWSS to promote available capacity and generate projects from companies that need reliable production partners.
