The 2018 International Bulk Wine & Spirits Show (IBWSS) in San Francisco will give participants from around the world a unique hands-on opportunity to learn how they can leverage trends within the bulk wine and spirits industry to grow their business and become more profitable. In recognition of that fact, the theme of this year’s event will be “Bulk Up Your Bottom Line.” The event will build on the phenomenal success of the inaugural IBWSS event in San Francisco held in July 2017. It will include a trade show expo where buyers and sellers can interact, as well as a full two-day business conference featuring some of the leading names within the wine & spirits industry. Topics will include best practices within the bulk wine, bulk spirits and private label industry, ways to maximize ROI from existing infrastructure, and new ways to reach customers.

The show, organized by Beverage Trade Network, will bring together suppliers, retail buyers, importers and distributors in the very heart of California’s wine industry. “We’re really excited about bringing together some of the biggest names within the bulk wine and spirits industry in 2018 and helping them grow their businesses,” said Sid Patel, CEO of Beverage Trade Network.
