The wait is over! We are happy to announce Cocktail Camp PDX, taking place on Sunday, April 11, 2010 at New Deal Distillery in SE Portland, Oregon.

Cocktail Camp will feature a full day of presentations by some of Portland’s best bartenders, local craft distillers, and creative hobbyists, talking about the things that excite them in the world of cocktails, and will wrap up with a panel discussion and Q&A session. While all this is happening, we’ll also have space set aside for ad hoc conversations amongst attendees. Things will kick off at 10:00am and finish up at 5:00pm, followed by an after party at a location to be determined.

We are now accepting presentation proposals. If you’d like to get involved, tell us who you are and what you’d like to talk about. The deadline for submissions is midnight, February 8, and we’ll be announcing our five selections on February 15.

Cocktail Camp is a community-focused effort and needs help from you to make it happen. If you’re interested in helping out, please read over our sponsorship information and get in touch.

Tickets are now on sale! You can buy your tickets for just $10 via Paypal on the CocktailCamp web site. Space is limited, so get your tickets early.
