Beverage Pairings
Our culinary team has been working to craft unexpected beverage pairings with select menu items, to inspire attendees with innovate food and drink pairings that enhance the guest experience. Guests can choose from up to six pairings.
Beverage Innovation
An interactive showcase of new emerging brands offering beer, wine, spirits and non-alcoholic products makes its debut at this year's Vibe Conference. This new activation is designed to present the dynamic new landscape of products entering the market, and educate operators on options for both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.
Technology Showcase
Immerse yourself in the latest technology within the beverage industry. The Technology Showcase provides the best experience to demo new solutions, ask questions directly to the experts, test products from a user experience, and receive special product offers direct from the supplier.
Conference Program & Workshops
This year’s conference program will include updated features to ensure we continue to deliver the most effective, powerful programming possible. General sessions will now include 20-minute panel discussions, to provide more audience interaction and operator-led feedback on key industry topics. We are also including 12 expert-led workshops, which will provide hands-on education and interactive opportunities. You can find more about the conference program here and here.
Awards
Celebrity mixologist Mia Mastroianni joins Vibe Conference to present this year’s awards programs: the Vibe Vista Awards, Vibe Supplier Awards, the Jim Flaherty Award (previously the Industry Legend Award) and the Innovator Award. All of these awards recognize leaders in the beverage industry for their excellence and support of on-premise. Last year, the Vibe Vista awards were postponed due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and we’re excited to bring them back and recognize on-premise leaders for their work. Find out more about the awards program here.
