Introduction The American Craft Spirits Association's convention in Portland is cancelled. The Craft Brewing Conference 2020, planned to take place in San Antonio, Texas, just got cancelled. The American Distilling Institute's trade-show, that should take place in New Orleans, is now cancelled as well. What's the major impact of those cancellations? Information and education, or better phrased: the lack thereof. Many people, wanting to enter the industry, were planning to use the above mentioned shows to learn how to set up a distillery. Others, maybe more established craft distillers, were looking forward to deepen their knowledge, and learn new tips and tricks. That's not going to happen now. Or is it? Feel the basses rumbling and the percussionists picking up pace?
