The global specialty coffee community is a fast growing, vibrant and creative family of people who all share the love for coffee. It encompasses all continents and cultures, including a whole value chain from small farmers and producers in origin countries to consumers all over the world. They regularly gather either at big international events ornational coffee festivals. These communities and events are built on the foundations of openness, inclusivity, and the power of shared knowledge. Such shared value will also be at the heart of this Coffee Festival where the coffee culture of two cities is brought together with key note lectures, performances, tastings, stands and networking opportunities.
