Managing Editor, BevNET

The agenda is set and the drinks are cold: BevNET Live Summer 2026 is officially here. 

New York City may be gripped with Knicks fever, but if you’re looking for sound strategies, winning playbooks and star power, it’s all happening at the Metropolitan Pavillion this week. 

The Kick Off: Get ready for a deep dive into the current state of the beverage market with Trent Moffat (Founder, Gotham DSD), Jennifer Ross (Co-Founder/Co-CEO, Swoon), Daniel Grubbs (Managing Director, William Hood & Company) and John Lawson (Senior Local Forager, Whole Foods Market). 

We’ll hear from investors, too. Elly Truesdell (New Fare Partners) and Hank Spring (KarpReilly) will discuss how they're assessing where the smart money is going next in beverages and how they’re navigating both increased interest in better-for-you products and rising economic uncertainty. 

After leading Bai and Dirty Shirley, respectively, to successful exits, Ben Weiss and Adam Kost retrace the steps they took to scale and create a passionate consumer base.

Whether you’re in NYC or tuning into the livestream, the day will bring essential insight into the beverage business you won’t want to miss. 

Follow the entire show today and tomorrow with exclusive stories on BevNET.com
