Creative Coffee Week 2024

BOOK YOUR TICKET NOW

This event would not be possible without the support of the amazing sponsors that have come forward to support coffee education and growth in South Africa. When in Copenhagen recently, we refocused on the idea that this is an intimate event, open to all, that should leave attendees feeling inspired to do better in their sector of the coffee industry. We have condensed the program to two days so people have to take less time away from their businesses, but we've maximised every minute and we've been able to reduce the ticket prices, thanks to the help of our partners who all value what this event means on the coffee calendar.

Magic happens in between the sessions too! We will be releasing new details and Topics up for Discussion constantly up until the event, but this year our format is a bit different to maximise engagement and networking. We are aiming to create a coffee wonderland that inspires all the amazing humans in the industry.

Coffee will be available across the floor on all three days through the beautiful equipment that will be on show and you can expect to taste so many different and delicious things.  

There will be 6 different cuppings a day.

There will be incredible prizes up for grabs for delegates and we will crown the first April Brewers Cup Champion of South Africa!

There will also be super fun evening events.
