Mark your calendars for an unparalleled gathering of minds and talents at CiderCon® 2026, set to transform the city of Providence, Rhode Island from February 2-5, 2026. As the world’s leading event dedicated to advancing the craft of cidermaking, CiderCon® offers an exceptional platform for networking, learning, and sharing the rich traditions and innovative techniques that define our industry.

This year, we’re casting a wide net to bring in knowledgeable, passionate, and visionary speakers from the cider industry and beyond. We’re looking for presentations that will enlighten and inspire – covering a wide array of topics from best practices and emerging trends to groundbreaking research and process improvements. Additionally, we invite speakers from outside but related industries to cider. Our industry will be strengthened with fresh perspectives.

The topics we’re particularly excited about this year include:

• Cidermaking (Production, Safety and Operations, etc.)
• Sales (Wholesale, Cider Clubs, DtC, Marketing and Branding, On-Premise, etc.)
• Better Business (Human Resources, Compliance, Equity & Inclusion etc.)
• Orcharding (Pest & Disease Management, Orchard Planning, etc.)
• Data/Trends (Cider, BevAlc, Etc.)
• Cider’s Flavor and Terroir
• Innovation

If you have insights or experiences in these areas, we want to hear from you! Please be aware that our attendees do not want presentations that are sales pitches for your company or products or services. They want information that will be useful and relevant for their businesses.

At the heart of CiderCon® is our unwavering commitment to inclusivity. We believe that diversity fuels innovation and strengthens our community. That’s why we encourage proposals from individuals of all backgrounds, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, veterans, and those with disabilities. 

Please submit your proposals to the CiderCon® committee by June 15, 2025 by filling out this Google form. If you’re selected as a speaker, you’ll receive a complimentary pass to CiderCon® 2026, including lunches and access to all the fantastic non-ticketed events we have planned. Decisions for speakers will be made by mid-August. We may reach out to you in the interim to get more details on your session. If you have questions, please reach out to our Speaker Coordinator Jenn Martell at jenn@ciderassociation.org.

Don’t miss this opportunity to help the cider industry continue to thrive. Together, we can make CiderCon® 2026 an event that celebrates our craft, fosters innovation, and builds a more inclusive and vibrant community. We can’t wait to see you in Providence!
