The Barista Guild of America is excited to bring a second Bloom event to the coffee community - this time in Chicago!
Bloom brings together the best minds in coffee, creating a unique opportunity for deeper discussion and engagement for attendees.
Bloom will feature three different thought-leaders who will present topics that specifically address the
craft coffee community. An interactive discussion between speaker and attendees will follow each talk, creating the opportunity for meaningful dialogue. 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.
