ANNUAL EVENTS 

& Sponsorship Opportunities

Monthly Membership Meetings: typically the last Monday of each month

Get visibility with some of Tampa Bay's most influential bartenders. Our monthly meetings bring together industry professionals for education, networking, and trend-sharing. As a sponsor, your brand can become part of the conversation, building authentic relationships through product education, sampling opportunities, and face-to-face engagement with the bartenders who recommend your products to thousands of guests. It's not just sponsorship; it's becoming part of the USBG Tampa Bay family.

Beach Bash: Q3

Imagine your brand at the most anticipated bartender event of the summer—where industry professionals let loose, compete, and celebrate. Beach Bash is our high-energy field day that combines friendly competition, creative cocktail challenges, and pure fun. With 100+ attendees, it's the perfect environment for experiential marketing, product sampling in a relaxed setting, and creating memorable brand moments that bartenders will talk about all year.

Education Week: end of Q3

Position your brand as a leader in bartending excellence. Our Education Week is Tampa Bay's premier professional development event—a multi-day conference featuring seminars, masterclasses, and certification opportunities. Think Tales of the Cocktail or Bar Convent Brooklyn, but focused and local. You'll reach serious professionals invested in advancing their craft, with opportunities for branded education sessions, product showcases, and association with industry innovation. When you sponsor education, you don't just get visibility—you get credibility and loyalty from bartenders who value brands that invest in their growth.

Repeal Day: end of Q4

Celebrate history, heritage, and the heart of our industry. Repeal Day honors December 5th, 1933—the day Prohibition ended and bartending was reborn as a legitimate craft. This elegant event combines historical storytelling, classic cocktail celebrations, and recognition of our industry's resilience and tradition. It's the perfect showcase for premium brands and those with rich histories of their own. Connect with bartenders who honor tradition while your brand is positioned as part of the ongoing legacy of American cocktail culture.
