Notes from IBDEA Headquarters
Welcome to IBDEA Happenings, our first monthly newsletter! We will be sharing our "Happenings" with IBDEA Members and our beverage industry friends.
The Executive Management Team transition is going well. CJ has received numerous boxes of information and conference goodies. The IT gurus have transferred all the digital files from Cornerstone Associates to Madeleine Crouch and Company's server. We are extremely thankful to Marv and Stef for their continuous help in answering all our calls or emails.
CJ Marchain, IBDEA Account Executive, may be new to the beverage dispense world, but she is a seasoned vet in association management. We work side by side (in Texas and Montana) to support the IBDEA Officers and Board of Directors. I can't wait for you to meet her at our 2022 Conference.
Speaking of the Conference, who's ready for Orlando in March? Conference Chair, Dena Miner of Nordic Beer Systems of Idaho, has already met with us to help plan an amazing in-person event. Keep an eye out for early bird registration info.
We are kicking summer off with Member to Member Zoom training that we call Associate Member Informational Series. I'm excited to hear more about their new products and alternative solutions to the challenges we face today.
The Draught Beer Academy and Advanced Draught Academy are accepting applications for classes in August and November. Space is limited, so don't wait to register.

International Beverage Dispensing
Equipment Association
IBDEA is a 50-year-old trade association made up of beverage dispensing experts. Our membership is per company and has two categories, Associate Members and Regular Members. Our Associate Members are beverage equipment manufacturers and other suppliers who sell their products to our Regular Members. Associate Members are typically looking for distribution or service providers. Our Regular Members are companies that go into bars, restaurants, schools, etc., sell and service beverage equipment, provide beverage products, CO2, and other beverage gases.
Our specialties are networking and education. We hold an annual spring conference that includes a product fair and networking events around industry trade shows (such as the National Restaurant Association Show in Chicago). Educational opportunities include a comprehensive carbonation school, refrigeration/electricity school, and basic and advanced draught beverage schools. We have a members-only virtual forum and Knowledge Center that contains Safety and Compliance documents on our website. Additionally, we send out a quarterly member report, monthly newsletter, and an annual membership directory.
