BECOME Host Sponsors
WHAT IS THE SOURCING TRIP EXPERIENCE?
As an STE HOST, you’ll provide an experience at your farm that serves as a foundation for building business relationships with coffee buyers. A minimum of 10 roasting companies will stay with you at your farm for three days, during which you’ll be able to:
- Organize cupping sessions with coffee buyers.
- Build long-term business relationships with roasters.
- Showcase what sets you apart from other exporters and producers.
- Demonstrate how farms, cooperatives, and coffee organizations work together and operate.
- Arrange alternative educational activities, such as beekeeping.
- Coordinate visits to wet and dry mills.
Roasters who have attended our STE program in previous editions have purchased increasing amounts of coffee from their hosts year after year.
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.
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.
