Where Innovation Happens

the Technical Committees

Our Technical Committeesand subcommittees are the core of ISBT’s strength. That’s where you’ll:

Dive deep into ingredient science (water, gases, sweeteners, etc.)

Explore packaging design and material innovations

Shape production and distribution processes

Drive new product development and R&D

Collaborate globally on emerging industry issues

Through open, non-competitive cooperation, you and your peers test, challenge, refine — and build consensus documents that guide the entire beverage industry. That level of insight? That only happens when real people with real experience build it together.

Grow your career

Professional Development Built In

ISBT doesn’t just expand your technical knowledge. It builds the professional skills that companies value most.

By participating in Technical Committees and engaging with peers at BevTech®, members naturally develop:

  • Leadership skills through guiding discussions and project initiatives
  • Project management abilities by coordinating committee work and timelines
  • Negotiation and influencing skills while building consensus across diverse perspectives
  • Collaboration and communication strengths through ongoing technical teamwork
  • Strategic thinking as you help shape industry-wide guidelines

These are real-world, applied skills — gained not from a classroom, but from working alongside peers and industry leaders. For companies, ISBT participation supports employee growth, strengthens technical leadership, and enhances cross-functional capability. For members, it’s an unmatched opportunity to grow both technically and professionally.

BevTech® offers this development in its strongest form, giving attendees a chance to learn, lead, present, and collaborate face-to-face in a dynamic, hands-on environment.
