Membership Benefits

Being part of the SCA community gives you and your business a huge advantage. Here are a few of the main reasons members say they find value in being a part of our community:

Join a community

Events, exhibitions, and cuppings are just some of the networking opportunities we offer to our members at both the global and local levels. Through membership, you will gain access to a global community of people just like you who love coffee and are passionate about the industry. 

Support the SCA’s work to #MakeCoffeeBetter

SCA membership is not only about personal gain and value; it’s also about contributing to a better future for our industry and world through the power of multiple voices.  Membership allows you to participate in the change you want to see by amplifying our collective voice and advocating through the organization.

Improve Industry Visibility for Your Business

Members have opportunities throughout the year to raise brand awareness through events. Drive your business forward by aligning with the SCA’s initiatives and interactions with industry leaders.

As part of our purpose to foster coffee communities to support thriving, sustainable and equitable activity for the entire value chain we now offer two tiers of individual membership: one paid membership and one free option, with unique benefits for the paid option.
