United Baristas / All United Baristas
The LCF was born out of love for the UK coffee scene.
Eleven years ago when London was rapidly becoming the most exciting coffee city on Earth, it was obvious what had to happen… a party had to be thrown, and The London Coffee Festival was born.
With over 7,000 visitors and 100 exhibitors in its first year, it became pretty clear that the festival was giving the coffee and creative community exactly what it wanted – and what London’s speciality coffee scene deserved, and it still does! This year 30,000 creative urbanites and industry professionals are expected to attend.
So what should you expect from the event? All the tastings your heart could desire? Check. Demonstrations from world-class baristas and interactive workshops? Of course. Live music, DJs, art exhibitions and coffee-based cocktails? Obviously.
Enjoy an edit of delicious coffees from some of the best producers with Paul Ross from Special Guests.
It’ll get you taste buds zinging before we explore opportunities around communicating flavour to customers, supporting producers and how to further develop peoples’ coffee drinking habits.
You can just turn up. First in, first served. The cupping is free to attend, registration is required for Caffè Culture.
Moderated by Sam, owner of two coffee shops in London, this panel explores the technology, workflows and demands of serving quality coffee at pace.
Immediately following the 5th World Coffee Conference (23 September to 1 October 2023) the International Coffee Organization will unpack their new research establishing a Living Income for coffee producers and create a new floor price for coffee that can help the industry better support coffee farmers and play an important role in supporting the global sustainable development objectives.
Finding a suitable site for your coffee business can be challenging. As well as identifying suitable locations, it’s necessary to navigate agents, landlords and solicitors as well as rent deposits, convanants and planning.
Rob Fay has over two decades experience working with some of the biggest names in property, and has worked with key people in the coffee industry. Plus, he’s part-owner of north London coffee shop Wildcard.
In this talk Rob provides analysis on the current state of the market, future trends and how proprietors can develop attractive propositions for landlords to help get the best locations and deals possible.
The presentation will be followed by a Q&A.
