The Barista Guild of America is excited to bring a third Bloom event to the coffee community - this time in San Francisco!
Bloom brings together the best minds in coffee, creating a unique opportunity for deeper discussion and engagement for attendees.
Bloom will feature a series of talks and panel discussions on the topics of Intersectionality, Coffee in Yemen, Natural Wine and the emerging world of Specialty Convenience Coffee. The outcomes of these discussions - ideas, challenges, solutions will be reviewed, recorded and distributed for take-away at the end. We believe Bloom to a be a forum by which the coffee community can progress together in real-time.
