Join The Conversation...
Last year, the first Think RUM event went very well, and I was very pleased to be involved in some small way – presenting on a couple of topics and voicing an opinion or two as a part of a panel discussion. I’m very pleased to be asked back, influencing topics of conversation in the hope that through greater introspection, the category can continue to grow in a more honest manner.
Press Release: After a hugely successful Think Rum 2017 we are delighted to announce that we will be again running Think RUM on Tuesday, 30th January 2018 in central London.
We are delighted to announce that Peter Holland, a.k.a. TheFloatingRumShack.com, renowned Rum expert will be on board Think Rum 2018 as our Co-Chair. Peter will bring to Think Rum his extensive and in-depth knowledge of the Rum category and the latest trends he is seeing coming to the fore.
Think RUM 2018 will offer a fully interactive experience of tasting, masterclasses, networking and debate bringing together the pioneers and innovators of the Rum category, with the relevant on and off trade buyers – from supermarkets, c-stores, online retailers, wholesalers, off-licences and independent wine merchants to mixologists, bar and hotel bar owners and managers and restaurateurs – the key players whose input is critical in ensuring the sales continue to rise and excitement around the Rum category continues.
Think RUM 2018 will be hosted and media supported by the leading trade publications, Harpers, Drinks Retailing News and CLASS. Each will be dedicating extensive pre-and post-event coverage both in print and online and in dedicated Think RUM mailings to their respective buyer audiences.
Get Involved
We are looking to work with just a limited number of RUM producers and suppliers who will be invited to get fully involved in the programme planning and content for Think RUM 2018.
