It may seem crazy, but we’re now counting down the days to PRF El Salvador. The two-day forum will take place at the Salamanca Exhibition Center in San Salvador on March 16 & 17, bridging the gap between local specialty coffee producers and coffee professionals from around the world.

Before we get too carried away, there are a few things we need to clear up before attendees arrive in San Salvador. We’ve put together a useful list of need-to-know information that you can use to ensure you’re 100% ready to take part in the Central American coffee industry event of the decade.
