Dragon Con Meets Spirits Ecommerce
Bottle Nexus is powering the convention’s spirits and mead partnership, which includes Old Fourth Distillery, Atlanta Distillery, and Monks Meadery. Designed to showcase independent spirits and mead producers, the initiative gives smaller craft brands access to a national audience while expanding opportunities for compliant online alcohol sales and direct-to-consumer engagement.
Event-Based Alcohol Sales, powered by Bottle Nexus Technology
As the alcohol ecommerce and fulfillment infrastructure provider for the program, Bottle Nexus manages online ordering, fulfillment coordination, and retailer-connected sales experiences. Its technology enables participating brands to offer seamless purchasing experiences before, during, and after the event, helping consumers discover and purchase exclusive releases while simplifying logistics for suppliers. By combining compliant alcohol checkout technology with streamlined order management and fulfillment services, Bottle Nexus removes operational complexity and allows producers to focus on brand building and customer engagement.
Attendees will experience a curated network of tasting opportunities, product showcases, themed activations, pop-up bars, and retail experiences throughout the convention. The program is designed to maximize product discoverability and consumer engagement. Featured placements, curated tasting flights, and cross-brand promotional bundles help participating brands increase visibility, drive sales, and reach new audiences beyond the convention floor.
