These events happen thanks to the support of our sponsors, and especially our Qualified Equipment Sponsors: CMA Astoria,
Anfim, Cafetto, Pentair, and Technivorm. With their help, World Coffee Events (WCE) put on three simultaneous stages of world-
class coffee competition for the more than 150,000 people who came through the HOTELEX Shanghai show. We couldn’t have done
it without an army of tireless volunteers, the incredible support of our host UBM Sinoexpo and our production crew LSFX, and an
amazing crew of dedicated Judges.
