Creative Coffee Events 2025
Bringing the coffee world closer to you.
This platform has evolved into an intimate educational event to encourage the growth of our local industry and also to celebrate the work that is already taking place. It is expensive for us South Africans to travel the world for the passion we share with our customers everyday, through these events we hope to bring you some inspiration and break the boundaries, creating global events in our very own cities.
Save the Dates:
Durban - 30 & 31 July
Cape Town - 17 & 18 September
Johannesburg - 11 & 12 December
Our conference venue in Durban will be a return to FNB's Acacia House. We will begin Wednesday July 30th with tasting amazing coffees, picking up incredible swag and then we will head straight up to get stuck in to hardworking lectures and discussions. We will share lunch together accompanied by more amazing coffee.
Day Two includes a coffee party, a mini origin tour, a Colombian pop-up cafe and for a lucky few, a private audience with Mikael Jasin at his Omakase Experience in partnership with The Living Room, home to South Africa's Chef of the Year, Johannes Richter.
