Announcing Coffee Retail Summit 2023; the Fourth Free Virtual Event for Coffee Retail Businesses and Professionals.

Today, the Specialty Coffee Association is proud to announce the return of Coffee Retail Summit in 2023. This year, the Specialty Coffee Association has partnered with retailers in three key locations - Chicago, USA, Copenhagen, Denmark, and Busan, Korea – to host small community events with local focus and global relevance. These events will feature speakers and panelists with expert knowledge or vast experience in the coffee retail ecosystem with topics including marketing, business development, emerging technologies, human resources and personnel management, and more.

Presentations delivered at these small events will then be curated and presented to the SCA’s global audience during a digital broadcast on retail.sca.coffee, scheduled for October 26, 2023. To facilitate viewership across most time zones, two sessions will be held on October 26th at the following times:

Coffee Retail Summit 2023 | Session 1 - 09:00 GMT / 17:00 KST
Coffee Retail Summit 2023 | Session 2 - 17:00 GMT / 09:00 PST

As with other presentations and resources from previous Coffee Retail Summit events, each presentation will be catalogued and made available through the free resource library, available to our audience for continued reference and support.

Originally designed and created in 2021 to support specialty coffee retail businesses of all sizes during the international COVID-19 pandemic, Coffee Retail Summit has since evolved to provide continued support to the global coffee retail community. The Specialty Coffee Association recognizes the key place that specialty coffee retail companies have in their cities, communities, and within the wider specialty coffee global ecosystem.

Coffee Retail Summit 2023 is proudly supported by title sponsor Barista Attitude.

Further support is provided by BWT water+more and Victoria Arduino.
