History

Coffee Fest is described as the premier trade show for specialty coffee professionals, and since 1992 it has been connecting coffee shop owners, roasters, baristas, and industry professionals with the latest products, trends, and educational experiences. The brand runs as a series of regional shows across the United States. Since 2018, Clarion Events North America acquired Coffee Fest as part of its portfolio of regional coffee tradeshows. The Los Angeles edition has become the West Coast anchor of the series; the 2024 Los Angeles show marked a significant milestone, with a 29% year-over-year attendance increase that solidified Coffee Fest as the premier gathering for coffee professionals on the West Coast.
