The Chocolate Makers UnConference is a gathering for chocolate professionals. Recognized as today’s most unique and engaging craft chocolate conference.
The UnConference is a place for dialogue and collaboration across the cacao value chain. We welcome chocolate makers, retailers, traders, cacao cooperative leaders, cocoa farmers, academic researchers and media. The UnConference is empowered by contributions from all sectors of the industry.
Our goal is to create shared pathways for the future of artisan chocolate. We do this through open dialogue, design sessions, facilitated discussion, and social network development.
Your UnConference Pass provides access to the full-day conference on Friday with lunch included, industry happy hour Friday night, and an early entry weekend festival pass to NW Chocolate Festival. This year the UnConference is hosted at the iconic Space Needle in Seattle, Washington.
Join us to celebrate the community and creativity of the artisan chocolate industry.
