Level Up, a new event for baristas, will take place from September 27-29 in Minneapolis. Organized by Raise the Bar, this 2.5-day event aims to support barista professional development, with an emphasis on inclusivity. A range of engaging educators will facilitate workshops and training, aiming to strengthen crafting skills and foster community. The event comes as other barista support organizations have diminished, highlighting the necessity for fresh, supportive spaces. Session features will include hands-on classes, guest speakers, and public cafe opportunities, with limited ticket availability.
"Baristas are doing the labor that connects every part of the value chain to the public. They are the translators, they are the frontline educators, they are the people who hold the tension of this whole thing that we do."
"We wanted to build the world we want to live in instead of relying on existing structures that aren't serving the people we care about. It is the right time for this, not just because we need it emotionally, but because the cracks are showing in our existing systems."
