SAN DIEGO, CA – VIBE Conference, the premiere on-premise beverage conference for chain beverage executives, recognized the top adult beverage suppliers at the 2016 Supplier Awards during its annual conference held at Hilton San Diego Bayfront.
For the past six years, the VIBE Supplier Awards has invited beverage operators to rate their respective supplier companies on key attributes including business-building support as well as service and support performance through an online survey.
