Future Proof is the new flagship, bi-annual forum from Paramount Liquor mixing future trends, talking points and sustainability to Future Proof brands, businesses and the industry.
On Monday, 6 March Future Proof and a few hundred hospitality professionals will take over The Calyx, in the beautiful surrounds of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney where Paramount and its industry partners will showcase, discuss and sample where the Australian industry is heading and how businesses can move with the tides.
Paramount’s Evolution Marketing partners across beer, wine, spirits and mixers will be a part of the event, with each supplier showcasing one or two of their key products that fall within at least one of the four core themes; premiumisation, environment, social & governance, innovation and flavour.
In preparation for the event, Paramount liquor have been gleaning insights, consumer data and expert opinions from Australia’s leading bartenders, to find ‘the next big thing’ in flavour and have shortlist three. The flavours will be showcased on the night and ‘The Flavour of the Year’ will be announced.
Paramount says that the night will be one of ‘new experiences and meaningful discussions. We trust guests will depart The Calyx and Future Proof looking ahead and excited by what 2023 will bring. Paramount is proud to facilitate connections and educate the industry.’
There will also be panel discussions tailored to the on-premise attendees to share insights, recommendations and learnings hosted by Sam Bygrave, editor and founder of Boothby Media.
