Why should I come to Creative Coffee Week?
For anyone interested in coffee and the industry behind this magical beverage, this is the event for you.
The idea behind Creative Coffee Week has always been to bring the conversations happening in coffee all around the world a little closer to home. We have a thriving and growing coffee community here and it's only going to get better. Hopefully this platform keeps encouraging that.
We aim to bring together great coffee minds and you get one on one face time with people at the top of their game. It's invaluable!
And everyone is invited!

How is the program put together?
It's a collaborative process curated by The Coffee Magazine in conversation with industry leaders across the value chain. We are always open to suggestions!
Where and when is CCW2023 being held this year?
The Station Urban Event Space, in Durban is a 1200sqm auditorium right next to Kingsmead Cricket Stadium, 2 minutes from the Golden Mile beachfront. Check out https://www.thestation.org.za/. The dates are Wednesday 26th - Friday 28th July.
What does it cost to come to CCW?
General Admission tickets are R3000. Tickets are on sale here.
This also allows us to capture your payment, accreditation details, tee shirt sizes etc, when you register.
For this, you get to attend all three days of CCW 2023, you get a delicious lunch each day, a CCW goodie bag, access to all of the activities within CCW like cuppings, tastings, interactive sessions with each of the brands and their products at the event, lots of fun coffee activities like the SA Aeropress Challenge, CCW Coffee Olympics and more!
That seems a bit pricy? Why are the tickets that amount?
Creative Coffee Week is an investment in your business and your continuing coffee education. We strive to make the experience immersive and provide you with a coffee wonderland that is both stimulating and extremely fun so that you leave with renewed drive an energy to make coffee better!
It costs a lot to pull off this kind of specialised event and we are building a top quality international event, to get to this style of event overseas is far more expensive (especially with our beleaguered ZAR).
Can I volunteer to work at CCW?
Yes! We are looking for coffee professionals to Volunteer at the event - we need volunteers to be baristas, to help with cuppings, to assist us with all the things that happen at events. In return we will give you a complimentary pass to CCW23, you’ll get a goodie bag, we’ll feed you and let you participate in the events activities, when you are off your shift.
Where is the best place to stay in Durban for the event?
We have a fantastic new Accommodation Partner, ONOMO Hotels, who are giving all CCW guests a great deal … all you need to do is use CCW23 when booking :)
