• 10 a.m. Welcome Address (Chuck Moran, PLBTA Executive Director, and Tom Tyler, PLBTA President and owner of McStew’s Irish Sports Pub)
• 10:15 a.m. What’s New With The PLCB Wholesale – You regularly place liquor orders. But do you know the latest on what you can order or how to do so? With so many America 250 events challenging liquor supplies, here’s a chance to get your questions answered from top staff members of the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board’s Wholesale Team. Learn what’s new and how it impacts your business.
• 11:00 a.m. PLCB Mixer and Break – Maybe you have a private question for the PLCB Wholesale Team. Here’s your chance to have a private conversation while we prepare for the next panel.
• 11:15 a.m. Liquor Control Enforcement – Learn from top representatives of the Pennsylvania State Police Liquor Control Enforcement about what’s happening with enforcement of liquor laws. What trends are they seeing, and what you should be doing to avoid an unwanted citation. Get your questions answered.
• Noon LCE Mixer and Lunch – Have a private question for liquor control enforcement? Here’s your chance to ask while attendees enjoy a lunch break.
• 12:30 p.m. Inside Baseball With PLCB and PLBTA Lobbying Teams – More than 100 liquor bills are introduced every legislative session, but very few make it to the governor’s desk. Ever wonder why? Top lobbyists with the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board and the Pennsylvania Licensed Beverage and Tavern Association team up to provide insight while diving into the issues that impact your business.
• 1:15 p.m. Five Ideas In 45 Minutes For Your PLBTA Board – Many issues the Pennsylvania Licensed Beverage and Tavern Association works on at the state capital come directly from Members. Our goal is to have attendees share five ideas in 45 minutes that the PLBTA Board can take home and consider for placement into the Association’s Policy Compendium. Learn how your Board analyzes issues from legislative, public affairs, and Member angles before developing its two-year legislative agenda. Here’s your opportunity to have input into the Association’s next legislative agenda.
• 2 p.m. Networking / Developing Issue / End of Meeting – Should anything happen at the state capital or the State Supreme Court prior to the Summer Conference, this hour will be reserved for a possible panel to be determined later. Or it will serve as a networking social as we end the day.

Additional Summer Conference activities planned by our preferred vendors will be announced soon.
