INTERBEV PROCESS
InterBev has been refreshed to better meet the needs of the ever-changing beverage industry. After decades of providing a gathering place where the beverage industry can learn about innovations, see the newest technology and learn best-practices, lnterBev seeks a new direction to continue to grow and support the beverage industry.
InterBev has accrued a rich history in presenting a business platform for an ever-changing beverage industry. The American Bottlers of Carbonated Beverages, now known as the American Beverage Association, first opened its show’s doors in 1920. From the onset of soft drinks “bottled” in aluminum cans, the first diet cola, and the launch of energy drinks, InterBev has seen dramatic shifts in both industry trends and beverage chemistry. Only four years ago the US FDA approved the use of the new zero-calorie sweetener, stevia, prompting yet another steep transformation in the beverage world. With an industry out-dating itself by the year, InterBev has been pushed to meet the needs of the industry in unique ways. In the beginning of 2014, InterBev has adopted a new concept and split into two co-located events:
1. lnterBev Beverage focuses on joining beverage companies with retailers. The annual show is co-located with FMI Connect, a large trade show featuring everything relevant to food retail. The next InterBev Beverage will be held June 9-11, 2015 in Chicago, IL.
2. lnterBev Process focuses on beverage production, packaging and distribution and will co-locate with PROCESS EXPO, the largest food/beverage processing event in the U.S as well as the International Dairy Show. PROCESS EXPO ranked second on EXPO Magazine’s list of Top 25 Fast-Growth Shows in 2013. The 2013 International Dairy Show earned a coveted spot on Trade Show Executive’s Fastest 50, a list of the fastest-growing U.S. trade shows, for growth in number of attendees.
