WHY BOTTLED WATER IS THE NO.1 PACKAGED BEVERAGE CHOICE—AND HOW IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE SO IN THE FUTURE
Joe Doss
This year has been a busy one for the bottled water industry. Attend IBWA’s Lynn Wachtmann General Session and Annual Business Meeting to hear about the association’s recent successes—and learn about the challenges that might be on the horizon. Wednesday, November 20, 8:00 am – 10:30 am
CEU
1.5
Plastic, PFAS, recycling, sustainability, tariffs, and more—the bottled water industry has tackled a lot of issues in 2019, but industry professionals know that it is all worth it to continue bringing healthy hydration to our customers. During IBWA’s General Session, IBWA President and CEO Joe Doss will give his state of the association speech to update members about the many successes the association has earned this year—and review any challenges on the horizon. Members will also vote on the slate of nominees for IBWA’s board of directors, and IBWA Chairman Lynn Wachtmann (Maumee Valley Bottlers, Inc.) will discuss what he has learned during his tenure. IBWA presents another memorable moment at the General Session with the “Passing of the Gavel” ceremony, which honors the leadership, time, and commitment of 2019 Chairman Wachtmann and formally introduces the incoming 2020 Chairman Robert Smith (Grand Springs Distribution) to the IBWA membership.
BENEFITS OF CO-LOCATION Since 2012, IBWA and the National Automatic Merchandising Association (NAMA) have joined forces to hold our conferences over the same dates and same location. The joint effort is a no brainer for IBWA—given that many bottled water companies, particularly those in the home and office delivery (HOD) business, also offer coffee and tea to their customers.
ANAHEIM NOV. 18-21, 2019
NAMA’s Coffee, Tea, and Water (CTW) show is the world’s largest coffee service event dedicated to the $4.9 billion U.S. coffee services industry. At this year’s event, CTW will provide an experience designed to deliver insights and information on the latest coffee and tea trends, technology, and best practices impacting office coffee service business and driving change to an evolving convenience services industry. All IBWA and CTW education sessions are included in the IBWA registration fee, so attendees should feel free to sit in on any CTW session that interests them. You can review the full conference schedule on page 16. In addition to providing an expanded educational program, partnering with NAMA helps IBWA create a more robust trade show experience. The IBWA / NAMA-CTW Trade Show will be held on Tuesday, November 19, from 12:15 pm – 5:15 pm. Currently, more than 165 exhibitors have signed on to participate in this year’s trade show. The trade show floor is the best place to be for introductions to the latest and greatest innovations in the coffee, tea, and bottled water industries.
