More than 500 beverage executives from across the nation came together for Cheers Beverage Conference 2010, January 25-26, at the Hyatt Regency Miami, to compare notes, share insights and look toward a year filled with innovative ideas and forward-thinking strategies for rising above the economic challenges that have plagued the on-site industry in recent months.
Industry titans including Danny Meyer and Cameron Mitchell set the stage for a two-day brainstorm that tapped the knowledge, experience and expertise of restaurant and bar operators, suppliers, researchers, trend gurus, marketers, legal consultants and more.
Billed as “a new twist on the classic event,” Cheers Beverage Conference 2010 was the 14th annual conference hosted by Cheers magazine. It included a variety of roundtables, tastings, interactive sessions, panel discussions and networking events designed to give participants a forum for discussing the latest trends and opportunities.
