Connect. Reflect. Grow.

Drop in, grab a seat, and connect with fellow coffee professionals in a space designed for real conversations, honest reflections, and meaningful support. Whether you're a barista, new cafe owner, manager, or just starting out in coffee, this is your invitation to explore what growth really looks like in the coffee industry.

Hosted by Raise the Bar, a nonprofit reimagining professional growth in specialty coffee, this 2-hour community experience blends ongoing activities with daily anchor moments that encourage mentorship, dialogue, and creativity.

What You’ll Find:

• Speed Mentorship & Peer Conversations: Quick, guided chats with conversation prompts on topics like pay, burnout, and career paths. Rotate through mentors, peers, or both.
  
  
• Community Reflections: Join a facilitated group dialogue exploring questions like:
  What support do you wish existed at your career stage?
  What does “success” in coffee look like for you right now?
  
  
• Story Corner: Pop into the video booth and answer fun prompts like:
  What’s something you wish you learned sooner in coffee?
  (Opt-in to be featured in a post-show recap reel!)
  
  
• Quiet Craft Corner: Recharge with coloring pages or share inspiration with a “Take One, Leave One” affirmation note.

Come as you are, stay as long as you’d like, and walk away with new connections, fresh insights, and the kind of support that keeps our community strong.
