through the generous support of sponsors including Whitlijo Specialty Co., Pipe Distributors, Inc., Hawk Valve, Newmans Valve, Newman Flange & Fitting, Texas Pipe Family of Companies, and Bonney Forge. Their continued partnership plays a vital role in ensuring the event’s ongoing growth and impact.
With strong attendance, vibrant booth activity, and meaningful conversations throughout the venue, the 2026 Cocktails & Commerce tabletop show once again demonstrated why it remains one of the PVF Roundtable’s premier networking events of the year.
Natalie Reyes of Welding Outlets, Inc., who has assisted PVFRT Vice President Eric Weimar in organizing the event for years, shared:
“Cocktails & Commerce has truly opened doors in my career and within our industry. Volunteering through C&C has been incredibly rewarding, allowing me to build meaningful relationships while giving back. At WOI, we’ve seen how impactful this tabletop show is in creating genuine connections, supporting important causes, and strengthening our presence in the PVF community.”
Dedicated volunteers like Natalie and Eric are what makes this event such an astounding success. Upon check-in guests are always greeted by Suzanne Tamas and the PVF Young Professionals, smiling and ready to welcome attendees to get them signed in. The PVF Roundtable Board of Directors would like to thank each and every volunteer that assisted in making Cocktails & Commerce so successful this year.
