Attendees will be able to learn of the latest reports and data on the Spirits industry, on and off trade insights, game-changing case studies from leading brands, and are also invited to take part in the conference’s 10th anniversary celebrations. The 2024 agenda ensures there are practical strategies and solutions to take away through a range of engaging session formats: case studies, presentations, panel discussions and Q&As.

The 2024 programme ensures attendees are able to listen to discussions between brand representatives on the most pressing topics and get involved through session Q&As. Additional sessions, such as the fully interactive Bar Talk Q&A ensures an engaging agenda where attendees are able to interact and network at every point.
