December 18, 2024 — Holy moly, have we heard from a lot of you in the last couple weeks! So many of you, in fact, that we’ve decided to extend the deadline before the late registration prices take effect to December 23 to give you more time to get all the details squared away. Feel free to reach out to our staff with any questions or issues you might be having. We’re here to help and we are so excited to have all of you join us at CiderCon® 2025!
In addition, we’re thrilled to share that Amoretti will be the sponsor for the Grand Toast, which we are excited to bring back after a six year hiatus!
Also, there’s one more deadline that’s been extended for cidermakers! The World Beer Cup has extended their submission deadline for cider until December 31! Read below for more details on how you can submit your ciders today!
And don’t forget to save the date for these other upcoming competitions.
P.S. Don’t forget to book your hotel room as well!
Join Us At the Grand Toast!
If you’ve been to a CiderCon® prior to 2020 you know what we’re talking about! If you haven’t, then you’re in for a treat! After the last sessions have wrapped up on Friday, February 7 we’ll gather together one last time as a group in the International Ballroom to raise a glass to celebrate the end of CiderCon® 2025 and take a look forward to CiderCon® 2026. Everyone is welcome to attend. Thank you to Amoretti for sponsoring this year’s Grand Toast!
