Jackie Williams is the brains behind Bar Convent Brooklyn, or as we like to call it, BCB. Tasked with running one of the largest cocktail conventions in the world, she has hundreds of stakeholders to juggle and no two work days are alike. She takes time out of her busy schedule to talk with Greg and Damon about 2025’s upcoming festival on June 10th and 11th in Industry City, what goes into making BCB Brooklyn a success, and how the festival has grown since she came on board just four years ago.

Plus, are you ready for the reveal of our special celebrity guest at BCB Brooklyn 2025? Greg & Damon finally pull the curtain back to reveal who they’re gonna be talking to for episode number 600.
