World of Coffee, the specialty coffee industry's principal European exhibition, comes to Lisbon next year and runs from 17 to 19 June. The event sits under the Specialty Coffee Association, and its floor covers green coffee trading, roasting and brewing equipment, packaging and the professional supply chain, with the association's world championship competitions attached.
This is the trade counterpart to the consumer coffee weeks that have multiplied across Europe and Asia, and the distinction matters commercially. The buyers here are roasters, importers and equipment distributors contracting for the following crop year, not retail customers, and the green coffee floor is where a meaningful share of European specialty volume changes hands.
Lisbon's selection continues the association's practice of rotating the event between European ports with established coffee trading histories, which gives host cities a short but intense inbound business travel peak.
One detail is genuinely unsettled and is reported rather than resolved. The organiser gives an address in Alcantara while the Feira Internacional de Lisboa calendar lists the event under its own Parque das Nacoes complex. Both buildings are operated by the same group. Delegates should confirm the hall with the organiser before booking.
