Cultivating Inclusion
Wednesday, Oct. 12, 1-2:30 pm, L’Etoile
Join local industry professionals for a panel discussion on the ways we encounter and overcome gender inequality in the bartending world and how this relates to a bar or restaurant’s ability to foster a truly welcoming, safe and inspiring environment for staff. That environment goes hand-in-hand with an emphasis on impeccable service, which ultimately shapes the quality of a guest’s experience more than technique or provenance of ingredients. Conversation with panel attendees will follow the discussion, giving everyone a chance to bring their own experience to the table. Presented in conjunction with Spirited Women of Madison, whose members will helm the panel, and serve attendees a round or two of conversation-stimulating cocktails. Tickets: $10
