Giving a hand at industry events is a great chance to grow your global coffee network, while learning some new skills in a fast-paced environment. The Boston World Coffee Championships are coming to the Specialty Coffee Expo this April, and you can earn a 3-day Expo badge by meeting the minimum of volunteering hours.

Don’t miss out—early applicants can earn a badge with less hours by registering and selecting your shifts before February 14th. From February 14th onwards, the minimum amount of hours rises for SCA members and non-members. See the details below to learn how to complete registration and earn a 3-day Expo badge!
