Four Essential Pillars
Listen to the experts, meet international delegations from around the world. Discover the four essential pillars that make The Rum Summit, an innovative event dedicated to the Rum Ecosystem. Each of these pillars consists of specific conferences, offering an enriching experience for all participants:

• Public Policy: The Rum Summit aims to position “humans” at the center, in the service of an ecosystem that can only fulfil its promises of success. No government or institution is mistaken, and everyone understands the economic and societal challenges of this growing market for decades to come.
• Business Opportunities: This pillar focuses on economic opportunities in the world of Rum. With the implementation of production standards, controls, and logistics, the Rum industry can become part of a comprehensive response that will enable it to claim a leading position in the world of spirits.
• Innovation Sphere: This pillar explores the environmental and technological aspects of the sector. Without innovation, there can be no progress. The very essence of The Rum Summit is to bring together all actors in this ecosystem to allow a sharing of reflections and the implementation of actions for its future.
  How to ensure the recurrence of rum quality through molecular chemistry? What about the use of new technologies in a fundamentally sensory sector? What to think of the arrival of artificial intelligence and circular economy in the industry? What packaging solutions for a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) approach?
  The future of rum is played out at The Rum Summit. Innovation is an integral part of the The Rum Summit program as it is a significant lever for the longevity and adaptability of any industry wishing to endure. Many challenges inherent in our era (sustainable development, for example) will be solved by relying on opportunities created through innovation.
• Education & Careers: Led by the International Center for Spirits, this pillar aims to introduce young people to the career opportunities offered by the world of Rum. Youth is one of the priorities of The Rum Summit.

There is a need to raise awareness among the younger generations on existing training and career opportunities in the world of rum. The first edition of this international summit will be a forum for questioning but above all remediation around the lack of visibility on this ecosystem as a workplace.

What is the implementation of various opportunities in this ecosystem? What training exists? What development paths for new diploma courses? How to valorize agricultural education circuits? By what means can all types of qualified profiles integrate into the rum sector and, of course, more generally into this ecosystem?
