Help Shape the Future of Our Industry

Introducing the Kava Summit Coming Spring 2027

The Kava Coalition is proud to announce the Kava Summit, a symposium-style conference bringing together kava industry leaders, kava bars, vendors, growers, manufacturers, advocates, researchers, and policymakers for one landmark event.

Coming in Spring 2027, the Kava Summit was shaped directly by input from our industry — and the response made one thing clear: it's time for kava to have a gathering of its own.

Registration coming soon.

Our Vision

The Kava Summit is being built to become the industry's premier gathering — grounded in unified advocacy, meaningful education, real networking, and business growth. This is the moment for kava to organize, connect, and move forward together.

What to Expect

  • A one-day summit with an evening networking reception the night before, designed to maximize connection without demanding a major time commitment

  • A trade floor and vendor showcase featuring kava bars, brands, and businesses from across the industry

  • Programming built around what matters most — federal and state regulations, legislative advocacy, product safety and testing, consumer education, and the latest in scientific and health research

  • A mix of formats — keynote speakers, expert panels, roundtable discussions, workshops, and product tastings — so there's something for every corner of the industry

  • A true cross-section of the community — farmers, manufacturers, bar owners, retailers, researchers, and consumers, all in one room.

Get Involved

Sponsorship opportunities, vendor and trade floor spots, and speaking slots will be announced as planning continues. Stay tuned for details on location, dates, and registration — and reach out if you'd like to help shape this event.
