About Kombucha Summit
We can’t really believe it ourselves, but this year will be our fifth anniversary! After our amazing first event in Berlin back in 2019, two virtual events in 2020 and 2021, and last year’s event in Berlin, we are extremely excited to host Kombucha Summit 2023 as an in-person event once more!
From conversations with hundreds of kombucha producers, we know how challenging it can be to build a sustainable kombucha brand and business. Kombucha Summit is here to provide a knowledge exchange and networking platform for kombucha producers from around the world and help them succeed.
The two-day conference will gather commercial kombucha producers and industry partners in one place for networking, knowledge exchange and a lot of kombucha tasting. Our main goal is to help kombucha producers develop amazing products and scale their businesses. If you attended our past events in Berlin, you know how fun and inspirational an in-person Kombucha Summit is!
We are extremely happy to have secured a unique and stunning location for this year’s event: AchtBerlin. The construction of the building was finished just a few weeks ago and it features a state-of-the art cinema and beautiful event spaces, all located in the heart of the city.

About Us
Meet the team behind Kombucha Summit.
Fabio Carlucci
Founder & CEO of ROY KombuchaWe opened our own kombucha brewery in the summer of 2019 in Berlin and have been experiencing the needs and challenges of kombucha brewers first hand. As a former community builder in my previous career, I felt a format like Kombucha Summit was missing. Bringing the whole industry together to learn from each other and network is what we set out to do, with the goal of helping each other and the kombucha market succeed. Very proud to celebrate Kombucha Summit’s 5th anniversary this year!
