We are putting together an exceptional lineup of speakers and panellists that will give you the tools to grow your business, build your brand, sell more product, and position your distillery for success.

We’ve listened to your feedback from last year and have made sure all conference events are scheduled during the work week, with extra time to meet with exhibitors and network with your colleagues.
