BevTech Europe a Smash Success



BevTech Europe 2023 has concluded and was a huge success! The much-anticipated event was held in the Hilton, Amsterdam on September 21st. This venue was originally selected for BevTech Europe 2021, however, it was postponed due to COVID 19. It was great to get together with industry professionals at the idyllic location and catch up on all things new and exciting across the industry.

As always, we would like to say thank you to our sponsors, Unisensor, Politech Plus, and BCN Laboratories.

The theme for this year was “Circularity Journey in the Beverage Industry – Creating Values and Reducing Waste.” There were many speakers from different corners of the beverage industry who provided stellar presentations related to the theme. The event concluded with an evening drinks reception in the Hilton Hotel, where further networking and collaboration occurred.

We would like to thank all who could make the event and, in particular, our speakers for providing the amazing content, and our sponsors who endorsed the event.

We hope to see you next year for BevTech 2024.

A Law for All Places: According to New Mexico state law, “idiots” are not allowed to vote. The statute doesn’t give a clear definition of who fits that description, so be glad you are a technologist!

Ghost: 36% of Americans believe in ghosts, and 18% say they have seen a ghost. If ghosts are real, your dog can probably sense them. There’s overwhelming evidence that dogs can hear, see, and smell things that we cannot. So, the next time you see your pup acting oddly, it could be that it has, in fact, seen a ghost.

Bigfoot: Since the 1800’s, it is illegal to kill a Sasquatch in British Columbia. Yes, Bigfoot is legally protected in Canada. Unconfirmed creatures such as yeti, Bigfoot, sasquatches, and Nessie are called cryptids.
