Europe's most important and largest bar industry trade show, Bar Convent Berlin, is not just filled with hundreds of stands bristling with products, BCB also hosts a full program of educational seminars. And, even when the show closes, evening events and guest shifts by many of the world's leading bartenders keep visitors entertained late into the evening.
2026 dates: Monday 12 to Wednesday 14 October 2026
BCB spans three days and, since 2021, is held in the modern, airy Messe Berlin exhibition halls. It attracts a diverse range of visitors: from bartenders and restaurateurs to major spirits brands, retailers and wholesalers as well as hotels and restaurants.
Due to being held in the German capital, Germans outnumber visitors from other countries, but many travel from the United Kingdom, Poland, Italy, the Netherlands and Denmark. The organisers, RX Global, say "strong contingents also came from Austria, Switzerland, Spain and France."
Visitors to the show can take a break from the stands and seminars at one of the numerous bars inside the show. BCB even boasts hidden speakeasy bars within the exhibition halls, so it's easy to find a bar with which to catch up with industry colleagues from countries all over the world.
