The trade show was accompanied by an international specialist conference with high-calibre speakers, sharing their knowledge and skills.
The programme covered the complete value chain from production to POS. This was the place to meet keynote speakers and specialists from all of these industries. The conference not only gave our visitors a great opportunity for contacts and exchange of views, but was also the perfect complement to the exhibition – the conference gave delegates information on industry trends, while the exhibition was ideal for purchasing and for first-hand contacts and other inputs.



that is the overall assessment of this conference which accompanied COTECA Hamburg. With 30 speakers from four continents. With strong audience interest and involvement, discussing questions on the future of the markets for coffee, tea and cocoa.
“A very high level of discussion, with in-depth coverage of the key issues of the industries such as sustainability and the impact of climate change.”
David Foxwell, Editor of Coffee & Cocoa International and Chairman of the coffee and cocoa sessions
And the participants were equally convinced: 80 % of them said the conference delivered everything they were expecting – a real compliment for the conference programme!
