Questex’s 2022 Vibe Conference – the premiere on-premise beverage conference for beverage executives – attracted more than 700 attendees, including chain restaurants, hotels, cruise lines, airlines, beverage suppliers and distributors, consultants and agencies, a 25 percent increase compared to 2021.
The conference was held at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad, Calif. April 25-27.
“We are thrilled with the success of this year’s Vibe Conference, and to attract an expanded number of delegates eager to meet new customers and learn how they can support one another at this important time of opportunity,” said Tim McLucas, vice president of the Bar & Restaurant Group at Questex. “Labor shortages, supply chain issues, inflationary pressures and changes in consumer behavior from the pandemic have significantly impacted the beverage industry, demonstrating the importance of gathering top beverage executives to discuss new ideas and solutions to address these challenges, for future growth and success.”
Throughout the three days, Vibe attendees learned about the latest beverage trends through education workshops, beverage tastings, research sessions and networking opportunities.
Vibe Supports CORE
Children of Restaurant Employees (CORE) – a 501(c)(3) national non-profit – was the charity of choice for the Vibe Conference. It was founded by members of the beverage vertical. CORE raised a total of more than $103,488 for families in the food and beverage industry facing terminal illnesses or sudden losses.
