Three Days. One Community. Three Powerful Learning Tracks.

The Bartender’s Circle Summit is Seattle Cocktail Week’s premier three-day gathering dedicated to the craft, culture, and community of the bar and spirits industry. Designed for bartenders, bar owners, brand leaders, and hospitality professionals, the Summit is where meaningful conversations meet hands-on education—and where our industry comes together to grow.

This year, we’re expanding the experience with three focused learning tracks that allow attendees to shape their own path:

• Skills Track - Hone your craft with sessions focused on technique, creativity, and behind-the-bar mastery.
• Spirits Track - Deep-dive into category knowledge, production methods, regional understanding, and guided tastings led by experts and distillers.
• Business Track - Level up your leadership with classes on operations, marketing, management, culture, and long-term career development.

Across three days, attendees will experience:
• Thought-provoking panels with leading voices in hospitality
• Hands-on workshops across all three tracks
• Expert-led tastings spotlighting spirits from around the world
• Community-focused conversations centered on wellness, culture, and the evolving landscape of service
• Networking moments designed to strengthen industry bonds

This is where ideas spark, friendships grow, and new perspectives take shape.
Whether you’re behind the bar, running the business, or building a brand, the Bartender’s Circle Summit offers the tools, insights, and connections to fuel your craft.

Join us for three unforgettable days as we learn, share, and rise—together.

Registration goes live February 1.
