Trash Pandas

The Trash Pandas at TOCC are the ones who really make everything flow. The tasks include working the seminar rooms, organising glassware, working registration, assisting with the mentoring program and a whole lot of running around. If you think you are up to the task and can commit to the entirety of TOCC (that’s two FULL days on Monday, August 10th and Tuesday, August 11th), we would love to hear from you.

The 10 chosen Trash Pandas will be paid for their time at TOCC – $250 per day for a total of $500 CAD. Should you be chosen to be a Trash Panda and live outside of Toronto, you are responsible for your own travel to Toronto and accommodations for the duration of the conference.

Applications for Trash Pandas opened on March 2nd and closed on March 30th, 2026 at 11:59pm EST. Thanks to everyone who applied! We will be announcing the 10 chosen Trash Pandas in mid-April.

BONUS: We really like bartenders who are listed on Bartender Atlas! 🙂 It only takes a few minutes to fill out the form here.

2026’s TOCC Trash Pandas are sponsored by Lot 40 Whisky.
