We are pleased with the traffic, exposure and visibility generated by this year's show and we are looking forward to next year's show.” Bill Fehneman, Area Sales Manager for Nevada, Pabst Brewing Co.

We specifically chose the Nightclub and Bar Expo to launch our new line of vodkas and infused tequilas because this event brings together a critical mass of the national leaders in our industry. SXLiquors thought that this year's show was exceptional, and the momentum that we created here is something we intend to build upon throughout the rest of the year. There is simply no better place to unveil new products than the Nightclub and Bar Expo." David Knight, CEO, SXLiquors.
