About
BARC has established itself as the only off-premise beverage retailer event in the industry. Independent retailers large and small from across the United States gather for education, networking, and collaboration with other industry colleagues and sponsors.

This event is the only national off-premise beverage retailer event that provides a space and opportunity for high-level dialogue with your peers.  Attendees will network and share best practices to help improve your business.

BARC has track sessions, store visits, panel discussions, receptions, and keynote presentations. Hundreds of retailers have attended BARC for the first four years, bringing countless ideas back to their businesses. If you’ve joined us in the past, you know how important these shows are to our off-premise industry. Whether you're a past BARC attendee or brand new, please consider joining us!
