Coffee Fest |
|
| |
|
Coffee Fest has
been celebrating coffee long before coffee was “hot”. In
1992, they gathered coffee professionals together in Seattle
for their first consumer coffee festival. After several
years of hosting thriving events, Coffee Fest turned its
focus toward the specialty coffee, gourmet tea and
alternative beverage industry and brought retailers,
distributors and manufacturers together for its first retail
trade show in 1998. With a mission to help attendees build
and refine their specialty coffee businesses, they coupled a
relevant educational program with a convivial trade show
floor to create a successful show that celebrated its 50th
show in February 2008. With attendance numbers climbing at
every show, “the little show that could” now hosts four
annual trade shows, including an international show debuting
in Hong Kong in November. Coffee Fest remains the industry’s
top-performing show, consistently providing retailers with
relevant information to hone their business skills and up
their bottom line. |
