2022 Summer Celebration Recap

Under the most beautiful supermoon on July 13, a diverse group of food and beverage producers came together for a fun evening of delicious bites, music, and conversation.

The Summer Celebration on the rooftop of Arizona Beverage is looked forward to each year and despite the date change, we had a great evening. Up and coming companies made wonderful connections, shared ideas, and received valuable exposure. We added to the excitement with a special foodie experience led by Chef Victor of The Cook’s Studio and music by the group SoBeez.

We would like to thank Arizona Beverage for their partnership, and our sponsors; People’s United Bank, Mazars, TriNet, Marcum, HSBC, and KLI Consulting for their support. We are already talking about next year and hope to see you there!

Take a look at some of the great moments from last year’s Summer Celebration – 2019.
