BETHESDA, MD – American Beverage Licensees (ABL) will hold the 2025 ABL Annual Meeting in San Antonio, Texas on July 26-28, 2025. Registration is now open for the event, which will take place at the Kimpton Santo Hotel, one of San Antonio’s newest and most stylish downtown hotels. In addition to ABL Annual Meeting events and hospitality, attendees are also invited to participate in the Texas Package Stores Association (TPSA) Trade Show and other hospitality events taking place as part of the 78th Annual TPSA Convention & Trade Show.
“San Antonio was a fantastic host in 2024, and we’re thrilled to return in 2025 for another exciting Annual Meeting,” said ABL Executive Director John Bodnovich. “This year’s meeting will once again provide attendees with valuable insights, important policy discussions, and dynamic networking opportunities—with the added benefit of collaborating with TPSA for an even more enriching experience.”
The ABL Annual Meeting will continue to explore current trends in alcohol policy and regulation, as well as developments in the ever-evolving alcohol marketplace. Top practitioners and experts from across the beverage alcohol industry will share their knowledge and perspectives on key issues for independent beverage licensees.
Previous meetings have featured sessions on changes to alcohol laws, THC policy, inflation and the economy, alcohol law enforcement, and much more. The meeting aims to equip attendees with new ideas and resources to strengthen their businesses and advocacy efforts back home.
