This is one of those sessions every bar professional should make time for. Join representatives from the Washington State Liquor & Cannabis Board for a clear, practical conversation on current and upcoming liquor law updates in Washington. Designed specifically for those working in and running bars, this session cuts through confusion and misinformation to focus on what actually matters. You’ll hear directly from the source, gain clarity on common compliance questions, and have the opportunity to participate in a live Q&A. Prefer to stay anonymous? A confidential QR code will be available for submitting questions discreetly.
