At the Future Smarts conference at the Grand Hyatt Hotel in New York City on Monday, December 10, organised by the Beverage Digest newsletter, Isdell will be joined by PepsiCo’s chief executive Indra Nooyi and at least seven other chief executives from bottlers of Coca-Cola, Pepsi-Cola and Nestlé products.
