The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) is gearing up to host the Specialty Coffee Expo 2025, a premier event set to take place from April 25–27, 2025, at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, Texas. As the largest gathering for the specialty coffee industry in North America, the expo is expanding its exhibit space to accommodate the rising interest from businesses eager to showcase innovative products and services.
A Platform for Industry Leaders
The Specialty Coffee Expo offers unparalleled opportunities for networking and business development. With over 16,000 visitors from 85 countries, the event attracts a diverse range of attendees, including baristas, café owners, coffee growers, buyers, and executives. The expo also serves as a hub for showcasing cutting-edge brewing technologies, eco-friendly solutions, and artisanal coffee products.
Key Highlights for 2025
- Expanded Exhibit Space: More companies can now join the expo to highlight their contributions to the coffee industry.
- Wide Range of Categories: Exhibitors will feature products such as roasted coffee, brewing equipment, sustainable packaging, and allied food and beverages.
- Engaged Audience: With 75% of attendees influencing purchasing decisions and 25% ready to invest over $1 million in coffee-related goods, the expo offers immense business potential.
- Competitions and Awards: The event will host the prestigious Best New Product Awards and Coffee Design Awards, encouraging innovation across categories such as coffee accessories, branding, and packaging.
Networking Opportunities
Unlike coffee festivals, the Specialty Coffee Expo focuses on fostering relationships among industry professionals. Attendees can explore new business ventures, discover trends, and exchange ideas with leaders and innovators. Additionally, media coverage of events like the World Coffee Championships ensures significant exposure for participants.
Registration and Participation
Exhibitor registration is open, with various booth and tabletop options available. Pricing starts at $2,070 for SCA members. For those aiming for greater visibility, sponsorship opportunities and upgraded listings in the Expo Mobile App are also on offer.
