"Did You Know?" is a series of interesting events and changes to the ISBT and the beverage Industry. If you have an ISBT tidbit or "fun fact," send it to tom@isbt.com.
Did You Know... about the ISBT?
Logo: In 1999, The “Annual Meeting” was formally renamed “BevTech” to better represent the technical content of the Presentations and Technical Committees. Use of our current logo began in 2017.
Website: The original ISBT website, www.bevtech.org, was created in 2001. We learned that the International Society of Blood Transfusion had beaten us to the isbt.com address. Other ISBTs are International Senior Bowling Tour, Inter-State Bus Terminal, and Iowa State Bank and Trust.
Proceedings Improvements:
- Good: The Society began sending out printed proceedings from the Annual Meeting.
- Better: The Society switched to sending out CDs of BevTech proceedings instead of printed versions in 2001.
- Best: The Society changed from CDs to online posting of BevTech proceedings on the Society’s website in 2009.
Cost Management: In the 1990s, the Board of Directors was worried that if hotel rooms cost more than $100 a night, people may stop attending. This led to a long-term contract with the Ft. Lauderdale Marriott to freeze the price. This pricing target of $100 was later shattered at the Nashville conference in 2002.
Milestone in 2002 – Tony Meushaw, the 2nd Executive Director (ED) and President of the SSDT in 1980, passed away. Early in his career, he worked for Harry Korab, the 1st ISBT Executive Director, at ABCB (ED was part-time back then). Tony was a “bottler”, working for the 7UP of Southern California group.
Technology Advancement: The first email version of the ISBT newsletter was sent on Oct 4, 2002.

Anton Paar Launches the Next-Level Density Meter - It has been a while since Anton Paar presented the first digital density meter at Achema in Frankfurt. Back in 1967, the DMA 02 C was the epitome of innovation in liquid analysis with a follow-up effect far into the future. Although the measuring method itself has not changed in the last 50 years (oscillating U-tube technology), the technological progress has been immense. |
