About IWSB

Now celebrating its 6th year, the International Wine, Spirits & Beer Event (IWSB) —co-located with NRA Show 2013—is the only forum in the world focused exclusively on the role of beverage alcohol in the restaurant and hospitality industry.

Crafting a successful bar program based on the flavors and brands that will best pair with menu offerings to increase check averages is a challenge unique to this industry. And it’s a challenge that IWSB—in tandem with the NRA Show—is uniquely positioned to help operators meet.

IWSB features domestic and international brewers, distillers and vintners showcasing hundreds of established and emerging labels, beverage alcohol-focused, industry expert-led education sessions, hands-on demonstrations, dynamic mixology competition and access to professionally paired menu items from local Chicago restaurants.

The International Wine, Spirits & Beer Event provides unparalleled opportunity for producers of all sizes to get their product in front of major buyers—and for beverage alcohol buyers to interact one-on-one with the producers developing the next breakthrough brand and mixology innovations.

IWSB attendees include:

• C-level Executives
• Beverage Directors
• Distributors
• Chefs
• Purchasing Agents from Chains and Independent Operations

Join us in celebrating and advancing the industry during the most dynamic, inspiring and action-packed event of the year, coming May 19-20, 2013.
