NBWA’s 80th annual distributor convention and trade show to offer 22 education seminars (plus a Musburger)

Mmmmm.…Musburger. It’s one of your favorite kinds of burgers no doubt. Well that’s not even the main course at the National Beer Wholesalers Association’s (NBWA’s) 80th Annual Convention and Trade Show, which will be held October 8-11 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. It’s true the renowned sportscaster Brent Musburger will speak during the NBWA convention, but the real meat of this event is the 22 education seminars.
