What is the KBI European Salon?
“Convergence is “a location where airflows or ocean currents meet.” When intelligent (air), passionate (fire), loving (water) entrepreneurs (earth) meet in the mountains of Catalonia to bathe in the ancient thermal springs, the quintessence or fifth element (spirit) is manifested. Flamenco rhythms, mineral baths and long chats spark the imagination as together we alchemize & create the next iteration of the global Kombucha market together with pleasure and purpose.” ~
Hannah Ruhamah, the Kombucha Mamma; KBI President & Co-founder
Centered on the theme of “Convergence,” the KBI European Salon presents an immersive experience that transcends mere discussions, encompassing a rich blend of networking, relaxation and education designed to facilitate the forging of new relationships and collaborations. These interactions mirror the historical context of salons, where artists and thinkers converged to establish meaningful connections that extended beyond the immediate gathering. In partnership with the World Kombucha Awards Gala, KBI is inviting luminaries in the European Kombucha Industry to shed their light on where Kombucha is heading in its next phase of growth and development in the UK & Europe

Why Attend KBI EUROPEAN & UK SALON?
At the heart of the KBI European Salon lies a shared understanding of Kombucha’s profound benefits, an insight reinforced by modern research and echoed in ancient references to it as the “Tea of Long Life” and the “Tea of Immortality.” As Kombucha gains momentum as a healthful elixir for all living beings, this event acts as a focal point for producers to delve into essential topics that impact their craft.
Relationships. Making connections in our industry is invaluable because of the unique challenges we face. We may all be competing with each other in business, but at the end of the day, we all benefit when our industry builds a strong culture. Collaboration is part of our DNA!
Education. KBI is a membership driven, education & advocacy focused organization. We understand a lot of our member and industry mates are “accidental entrepreneurs” who may not have been to business school. The Salon is dominated by panel discussions to ignite inquiry and stimulate conversation. There are untold solutions from other industries and that have yet to be imagined. Your contributions to the conversation are valuable!
Camraderie. Show off and share your wares at our Kombucha Sampling Bar and gain valuable insight as to what’s in the market; get inspired for new flavors and packaging; and appreciate your peers products.
Fun! The best part is that we make it fun. Our industry is full of lively characters and we do our best to make this a unique experience. Join us for a delicious dinner drinking wine or soaking in the mineral rich baths which have been enjoyed for 2000 years and for which Caldes de Montbui is famous.
