The Cocktail Spirits bar show is probably the most Hipster bar show in Europe. Speakers are carefully picked & every year the lineup fails to disappoint.
This year the P(our) Symposium was the highlight of the show with gender taking centre stage. Carina Soto Velasquez was a particularly inspiring a she retold the story of her personal struggle as a female bartender in the bar industry. Her presentation focussed on her company, her staff & their aim to creating a truly gender equal company whilst still maintaining an ethos of hiring based on ability as well as performance.
What we can take from this is that going forward coaching & guidance are key to solving this issue. That is something we all need to be behind & focus on.
That being said every bar show has a heart a soul & we're glad to say we think the Bacardi-Martini team were definitely that for this year. Functioning as one unit of joy, happiness that bounced of each other naturally bringing just the kind of energy to visitors & other stands need to get through 2 days of high-octane work.
