Event Report

World of Coffee Dublin 2016

23-25 June 2016, RDS, Dublin, Ireland

Thousands gather in Dublin for SCAE’s Flagship Event.
They came in their thousands to follow the hugely successful
World of Coffee to Dublin for the first time ever. Over 6,500
people met with more than 1,500 exhibitors at 250 stands over
the 3-day event at the 10,000sqm RDS Simmonscourt venue.
The World Barista Champion and the World Brewers Cup Cham-
pion were both crowned, thousands of coffee professionals were
educated and inspired and the parties will go down in World of
Coffee history as some of the best nights in Dublin!
Organised by the Speciality Coffee Association of
Europe (SCAE) and sponsored by BWT water+more, World of
Coffee Dublin combined an interactive exhibition which even
had a silent disco! There was also an expansive programme of
educational seminars, talks and cuppings and the first ever Sus-
tainability Forum which proved a very successful addition to the
event. The SCAE Excellence Awards, sponsored by OikoCredit,
the New Product of the Show Awards and the SCAE Photography
Awards were all given to worthy winners and the second year
of Re:co the Speciality Coffee Symposium, where delegates dis-
cussed innovation and strategic development within the industry,
was another great success.

Budapest 2017!
Dublin was the most successful yet and it’s now all eyes
on Budapest when World of Coffee moves to the Hungarian
capital in 2017. Bookings for World of Coffee Budapest opened
in Dublin and over two-thirds (71%) of the available stand space
at the Hung Expo have already been booked so don’t miss out on
being a part of this great event.
