The National Beer Wholesalers Association hosts three different types of events: the Annual Convention every fall, the Trade Show every other year in conjunction with the Convention, and the Legislative Conference every spring. 

                                                    Annual Convention
The NBWA Annual Convention is designed to provide valuable education programs and important networking opportunities for the beer industry. Education programs offered during the Convention feature speakers and seminars on a number of topics of importance to beer distributors. Scheduled each year in the fall, the NBWA Convention takes place in a different city within the United States. On non-Trade Show years, NBWA's associate members and brewery members host hospitalities to maintain their business contacts and make new acquaintances.

Trade Show
Every odd-numbered year, the Convention is held in conjunction with the biennial Trade Show.  This very special event is held in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Trade Show allows beer distributors to interact with brewers and vendors and make valuable contacts for future business needs. It introduces distributors to new brewers and products, innovative technologies and vendors who supply materials needed to run their operations.

Legislative Conference
The NBWA/BREWERS Joint Legislative Conference is an annual Spring event held at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill. Beer industry leaders congregate in Washington, D.C., to discuss the industry's legislative goals and priorities with members of Congress and their staffs.
