The highly successful Coffee Business Awards are back!
The unique event exclusively for the coffee and café sector has become a firm fixture on the calendar, capturing the pulse of the specific market with vitality year in year out.
Inspired by our favorite beverage, the Coffee Business Awards were back for the 6th consecutive year, and have an event planned that was surpass any of the previous ones in terms of high attendance and rich content.
While visiting the city’s coffee hangouts this year, we noticed an increased preference for cool, aromatic Cold Brew, the latest trend in cold coffee which has garnered a fanatical following, so we decided to highlight it as the Honored Coffee for 2024.
We met with entrepreneurs in the coffee and café sector, tried out and tasted their new products, listened to their concerns and their need to have their hard work recognized and rewarded. We’re ready to support them as always in all their endeavors.
The glamorous #coba24 award ceremony was take place on Friday 22 November (New Date) as an in-person event at the Divani Apollon Palace & Thalasso hotel, but was also be broadcast online via LiveOn Expo Complex, the innovative 3D exhibition and conference center of LiveOn, the digital platform for Business Communication and Events.
