“Shake your Your Future: Insights and Advice from Industry Mentors”
This panel will bring together industry mentors, seasoned bartenders, and iconic figures from the bar world. Together, they will share their journeys, the challenges they’ve overcome, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way. This will be an opportunity for the younger generation of bartenders to hear practical advice on career management, creativity behind the bar, and how to excel in an ever-changing industry.
This panel aims to inspire, mentor, and prepare future bartenders to become not only cocktail experts, but leaders in their field.
