The Distilled Spirits Council of the United States (DISCUS), the voice and advocate for the U.S. spirits industry, announced that registration is open for its 2025 Annual Conference which will be held from March 26-28 at the Hyatt Regency Washington on Capitol Hill.

“The DISCUS Annual Conference has become a must-attend event for thought-provoking content and valuable networking,” Chris Swonger, DISCUS president and CEO, said in a news release. “We are excited to welcome spirits industry executives to our nation’s capital, where leaders meet to discuss and debate important issues, address challenges and set a course for a brighter future.”

The conference will bring together spirits industry professionals, decision makers and supply chain partners to share ideas and drive innovation in the marketplace. Attendees will hear the latest on mission-critical policies impacting the spirits sector; learn from industry thought leaders; and walk away with tangible insights to boost their business.

As part of the conference, attendees will have an opportunity to participate in a Capitol Hill fly-in where they will meet with their members of Congress to discuss important issues and challenges facing their distilleries and the industry such as tariffs, taxes and the Dietary Guidelines.

Networking events continue to be a core component of the conference. This year’s conference will include a trade show where spirits industry partners can showcase their products and services, and a roof-top reception overlooking the U.S. Capitol, where attendees can connect with members of Congress, spirits business executives and industry VIPs.
