The SIR (International Rum Summit) is Repositioning itself in Paris to Hold its 1st Edition

Scheduled to take place from May 3 to 5, 2023 at the Palais Brongniart

PARIS--()--The International Rum Summit initially planned in Guadeloupe, will hold its first edition next spring in Paris. This event's focus will not be on tasting spirits but on promoting the booming rum ecosystem. The ambition of the SIR is to highlight the economic, industrial, political, patrimonial and educational stakes. The SIR has chosen Paris and its Palais Brongniart to convey a worldwide influence to the event and to all the Rum actors—from overseas, France and internationally—who will meet there.

SIR Founders: "Given the extraordinary enthusiasm that rum is arousing today and in light of the tremendous mobilization expected from all the stakeholders in the sector—overseas, in France and internationally— we are repositioning this very first edition in Paris. Collectively, we intend to use this summit to celebrate know-how, increase international development opportunities and ultimately present French rum as the benchmark for the entire global ecosystem.”

The global rum ecosystem will meet in Paris to discuss the future of the entire industry
