ABOUT Host Sponsors AND HOW TO BECOME ONE
CONNECT
Strong relationships between buyers and sellers are the fundamental building blocks upon which the coffee industry is built.
As a Host Sponsor, you will have the opportunity to connect with roasters and form relationships that last.
During the Sourcing Trip Experience, a minimum of 15 roasters will stay with you on your farm (or a farm of your choice).
Here, you will be able to swap stories, introduce them to your coffee, and better understand their needs.
REACH
As a Host Sponsor, you will have an unparalleled opportunity to reach the worldwide coffee community.
Not only will you regularly feature in posts across our social media channels, you will also appear in articles on our publication and associated newsletters.
This will put you in front of a relevant audience of coffee professionals like never before, offering greater recognition and business opportunities.
ATTEND
Producer & Roaster Forum is one of the world’s most important coffee events, bringing together thousands of professionals and industry leaders.
The popularity of PRF means tickets can be difficult to get hold of. That’s why each Host Sponsor will be allocated with five tickets, which will give them full access to the two-day event.
Here, they will have the opportunity to hear lectures, take part in discussions, and connect with other coffee professionals.
