Join the 2nd Edition of the Oyster Educators Summit in Seattle, Washington.

Oyster pros travel far and wide to the 2026 Summit for access and community they can’t find anywhere else. With attendance capped at 100, the setting is deliberately intimate, featuring concentrated discussions, direct knowledge exchange, and meaningful connections with the people shaping the next phase of oyster appreciation.

Participants gain clearer strategies, stronger programs, and practical methods to improve revenue, staff performance, and guest experience. This year’s theme, Creating Emotional Value, examines how well-designed oyster programs create core memories and reinforce a property’s sense of place. Tom Stocks of Taylor Shellfish Farms will open with a keynote grounded in operational experience and practical insight.

The Oyster Educators Summit is the Oyster Master Guild’s annual flagship, built for those treating oyster specialization as a business advantage. The program moves from sourcing through service, bringing together producers, operators, educators, and industry professionals for concentrated, high-value discussion. The aim is direct: elevate execution, refine systems, and raise the standard for what an oyster program can achieve.
