Why Attend

The 14th Annual ACSA Convention & Expo will take place February 17–18, 2027, at McCormick Place in Chicago. With every trip and expense under greater scrutiny, ACSA is building a convention that is worth the time away from the day-to-day business. Join us for candid industry discussions, practical strategies you can put to use immediately, and direct access to distillers and partners who understand the realities of today’s craft spirits marketplace. We look forward to seeing you there.

Connect & Network

The ACSA convention brings craft distillers from across the country to one room at McCormick Place. These are the owners, head distillers, and operators who choose the equipment, ingredients, packaging, and services they use. We build networking time into the schedule so you can have real conversations beyond badge scans.

Understand Your Customers' Needs

Our workshops and sessions address the technical and business problems our members face this year. When you attend, you hear those problems directly from the people dealing with them. You leave knowing how to position your products and where the next opportunities are.

Build Relationships

Craft spirits is a relationship-driven industry. When you exhibit with us, you're seen as a partner who invests in the community, not just a company selling to it. Distillers remember who showed up, and that trust becomes repeat business.
