"Chicago Style, the city’s first women-run cocktail conference, is coming back for a second year at the Ace Hotel Chicago from May 6-9. Founded by Shelby Allison (Lost Lake), Sharon Bronstein (Fords Gin) and Caitlin Laman (beverage consultant), the four-day event features the Speed Rack National Championships, Bar Fight Club, and many panels and seminars. Expect the full schedule and ticket sales to be announced on March 1 on its website." - Daniel Gerzina
