In partnership with Bar Convent Singapore
Bar Convent Singapore (BCB Singapore) is set to return on 3 to 4 March 2025 at Marina Bay Sands, Singapore. As the premier event for Asia's bar and beverage community, BCB Singapore will bring together industry professionals for a variety of networking and knowledge-sharing sessions.
This trade-only event is designed for professionals at all levels of the industry—from bartenders and bar owners to distributors and importers—providing a comprehensive platform for networking, education, and showcasing the latest in spirits and innovations.
Originating in Berlin, Germany, BCB has expanded into a key hub for the bar and beverage industry, with locations in the USA, Brazil, and soon in the UK. In 2023, BCB Singapore made its debut as the first platform specifically dedicated to the Asian market, attracting over 150 global brands. The event featured diverse activities and sessions, including Homegrown Heroes, a cross-border initiative highlighting Southeast Asian talent, with contributions from industry experts in Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore.
At BCB Singapore 2025, attendees can look forward to an engaging program featuring expert-led talks, interactive workshops, and product showcases. The event will focus on four key pillars of education: Business, Community, Creativity, and Innovation. Participants can expect targeted sessions covering topics such as business ownership, people management, liquid education, social media marketing, and consumer trends.
With a diverse array of sessions suitable for all stages of the industry, the program is designed to meet attendees' needs. It will feature top global and regional talent, including Singapore's Peter Chua, who serves as the brand ambassador and Head of Education at BCB Singapore. This year, the product showcase will highlight brand-new national spirits from the US and Italy, as well as the return of industry-leading brands such as Brown Forman, Campari, and Código.
One key feature of this initiative is a special collaboration with Club Cantina, an educational platform dedicated to Agave Distillates, founded by Manuel Weisskopf (Founder of Dr. Sours Bitters) and Gernot Allnoch (Co-Founder of Mezcal San Cosme). The mission of this partnership is to share knowledge from agave experts around the world. It includes a dedicated showcase of agave producers and a series of educational talks designed to equip attendees with essential insights about one of the fastest-growing spirits categories globally. Exclusive masterclasses and presentations will feature leaders in the agave industry, such as Iván Saldaña, co-founder and master distiller of Casa Lumbre; Graciela Angeles Carreño, Co-Owner of Real Minero; and Jesse Este, Global Ambassador of Tequila Ocho.
In celebration of Asia’s exceptional talent, Singapore’s nightlife will host a series of guest shifts across the city’s top bars. These exclusive collaborations not only allow industry professionals and consumers to experience unique, one-of-a-kind drinks from the region's best establishments, but they also provide a platform for relationship-building, skill-sharing, and innovation. Guest shifts and cross-border collaborations continue to be essential for bringing fresh dynamics to the regional bar scene, showcasing diverse techniques and flavours while fostering creativity within the industry.
Attendees can look forward to a wide range of activities across three distinct areas: Centre Stage, Craft Workshops, and Tasting Corner.
At Centre Stage, expert-led seminars will provide insights into key industry trends and topics, including leadership development, cocktail craftsmanship, and bar ownership.
In the Craft Workshops, participants can engage in dynamic, bite-sized sessions where they will learn essential skills and discover the passion, creativity, and dedication that fuel the industry. One of the workshops will focus on photography, teaching attendees techniques for capturing visually appealing and tasteful images of drinks.
The Tasting Corner invites guests to explore and indulge in spirits that emphasize craftsmanship and sustainability, serving as a platform to discover new flavours and lesser-known categories.
Distinguished speakers will headline the event, including Danil Nevsky, Founder and CEO of Indie Bartender; Carina Soto Velasquez, Co-Founder of the Paris-based Quixotic Projects; Hyacinthe Lescoët, Co-Founder of The Cambridge Public House and Co-Owner of Little Red Door in Paris; and Bannie Kang, Co-Founder of Side Door in Singapore.
