Who will you meet at the 2025 USA Trade Tasting in Chicago on May 20?
USA Trade Tasting (USATT) is a truly national event, drawing industry professionals from all across the United States, but a significant number of attendees hail from the Midwest region, one of the fastest-growing beverage markets in the country. From importers and distributors to retailers, bar owners, and sommeliers, USATT attracts key decision-makers looking to discover new brands and expand their portfolios.
While visitors from New York, California, Texas, and Florida remain a staple at USATT, the Midwest market is a major focal point. With Chicago serving as a central hub for wine and spirits distribution, many top-tier distributors and wholesalers from Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Minnesota will be in attendance.
Beyond distributors, retail buyers from Midwest chains will be present, seeking high-quality products for their growing customer bases. Many independent retailers and on-premise buyers from Chicago’s thriving hospitality scene, as well as key markets in Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, and St. Louis, will also be exploring USATT for the next big thing in beverages.
With such a strong Midwest presence, USATT provides an unmatched opportunity for beverage producers to connect with key industry players in this high-potential region. Whether you’re looking to break into the Midwest market or expand your reach nationally, this event is the ideal platform to network, showcase your products, and establish lasting business relationships.
There will be 100 exhibiting companies. Only a few sports are left to become an exhibitor. Brands are encouraged to become an exhibitors now and get involved.
