Isabela consistently breaks the mold on what’s possible. Coffee Lab has been named one of the Top Ten Cafes in the world, and the service is totally focused on the customer, with the space designed so no counter or walls ever separate the customer from areas of preparation and roasting, providing a fully immersive experience. Isabela is a certified Q grader and SCAA Cupping Judge, has previously spoken at the 2015 Re:verb in Seoul, Korea, and hosted the 2015 Re:verb in Belo Horizonte, Brazil.

Bennett Cross (Retail Operations at Equator Coffees & Teas, United States)
Bennett became Retail Operations Project Manager at Equator Coffees and Teas in June, after spending five years at Blue Bottle Coffee. During his time at Blue Bottle, Bennett held the positions of barista, quality control and green coffee assistant and the New Store Opening Specialist. Bennett has some fascinating insights from his career journey which has lead to a varied and diverse role at Equator just as the company won the USA National Small Business of the year award. Bennett delivered a great talk at the 2015 Re:co Symposium event in New Zealand.
Danielle Harris (Independent Designer, United States)
Danielle Harris is a multidisciplinary Designer, Art Director, and Brand Strategist living in Oakland, California. Danielle’s first exposure to specialty coffee was at the age of fourteen, when her father, who owned a roastery & coffee shop, would teach her to roast coffee and craft drinks. She went on to work at several specialty shops while getting her college degree in Graphic Design. In 2013 she became the lead designer for Tonx Coffee, and has continued to combine her two favorite fields, most recently working with Blue Bottle Coffee.
Michal Molcan (Founder & Editor in Chief of Standart Magazine, Austria):
Michal is the founder and editor in chief of Standart Magazine, an independent print magazine focusing on the beauty of coffee culture, which has a readership in more than 53 countries around the world.
