The seven championships produced by World Coffee Events (WCE) are able to continue and grow thanks to the dedication and support of many partners throughout the global coffee community. Some of the primary partners are the event hosts, those trade shows and supporting organizations that host and help produce championships. WCE is pleased to announce that we are now accepting proposals for hosting of championships in 2020 & 2021. In addition, event sponsorship opportunities for the 2019 season are now available.

Hosting one or more coffee championship is a way to bring many of the coffee industry’s best and brightest to the host show, and it is a great way to increase global visibility through both in-person attendance and visibility on WCE’s far-reaching global media and digital channels. To find out more about what it takes to host these events and how you can submit a proposal, please read the relevant documents below.

Sponsored equipment, products, and other positions at events are also a great way to support the championships, which can offer wide-reaching recognition across many platforms, exposure to many global audiences, and tailoring and insights based on sponsor goals.

Sponsoring:

More information about sponsoring the 2019 events is available in the 2019 Sponsorship Brochure and by contacting sponsorship@worldcoffeevents.org

Hosting Proposal Review Process:

Submissions will be reviewed in consideration of the host’s experience with conferences and exhibitions and ability to meet the requirements in these documents. The host city will be considered for its areas of attraction, receptiveness for the event, and benefit to the WCE’s global representation and outreach. Host cities will be evaluated for accessibility and inclusivity using the SCA Event Site Criteria, under the strictest category, a “global compulsory event.”
