Call for panelists: Beer & Beyond online event

The virtual conference, which will feature two webinars and a roundtable discussion, will take place on March 8, 2016. We are looking for panelists to join our roundtable debate, which looks at the challenges and opportunities for the industry.

Who are we looking for?​

Global headline beer growth may not be anything spectacular: but break this down into market segments and the opportunities can become very attractive. Yet there are plenty of challenges. 

• What can we expect as mergers and acquisitions reshape the market?
• Should brewers be concerned about society’s drive towards healthy living? How does the next generation of beer drinkers differ to their parents?
• Just how long will craft beer keep booming for? 
• Innovations aren’t just about new flavors – how big is the opportunity for beers that are gluten-free or brews that pack a protein punch?  

Panelists will know the beer market and will be able to share their knowledge and experience. Three panelists will join our chair, ready to face questions from the online audience. It's a chance to debate with fellow professionals and showcase your expertise.

There won't be much preparation, and aside from your industry knowledge the only requirements are availability on March 8 and a good phone and internet connection. 

This is not an occasion to promote specific products or ingredients (we do not allow marketing plugs) but we do recognise both big and small companies from all facets of the industry have valuable insights.

Our previous online events have attracted over a thousand viewers that tune in live or follow the discussions later via playback.

If you think you can contribute as a panelist, or would like more information about what this involves, please contact enpury.neguhe@jeoz.pbz​

If you're not ready to be a panelist but are interested in tuning in to the event, details on how to register will be published in the new year.

Beverage Innovation Summit: February 18​

In a separate online event, BeverageDaily.com and sister site FoodNavigator-USA will bring together the masterminds behind some of the hottest beverage innovations on the market today.

With the focus on non-alcoholic drinks, we’ll hear what trends these entrepreneurs are tapping into, what separates the winners from the losers, and how to grow a beverage business.

All speakers and panelists have been confirmed for this event, with insights coming from Suja Juice, Chameleon Cold Brew, Protein20, Canadean and Euromonitor.
