There’s still a long way to get to equity, but we are actively working to spread info & connects to all bartenders—not just those who can afford it.

Why am I telling you this? Student applications are open until 7/26! Come see what the hype is about. https://www.pdxcw.com/student2023

We haven’t deviated from the original ethos, and continue to eliminate financial gatekeeping where we see it.

How does that work? Shuttles to/from all events, actual food and NA required at all events, scholarships for many. All at no cost to our guests. https://www.pdxcw.com/student2023

Let’s talk about Portland Cocktail Week. This year, the event turns 14 years old, and that has me thinking about longevity in the industry and why this event truly matters.

When I started the event, I only had one goal: offer FREE & USEFUL education to bartenders. https://www.pdxcw.com/student2023

I’m teaching a class on event planning with Marie Christoffersen and Rachel Wasserman over at the Campari Academy on 7/17. Sign up to attend here! campariacademy.com/en-us…
