CHICAGO — The National Restaurant Association has announced it will launch the International Wine, Spirits & Beer Event (IWSB) at the 2008 Restaurant, Hotel-Motel Show.
This industry-first event will augment the annual NRA Show with focused vintner, distiller and brewer tastings, demonstrations and education programs designed to provide restaurant and hospitality operators with information, services and products.
IWSB will be held May 19-20, 2008, in a dedicated area of Chicago's McCormick Place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., in conjunction with NRA Show 2008, May 17-20. IWSB attendees will automatically be registered for the NRA Show; however, separate registration, qualifications and badges are required for the new beverage industry event.
