World of Coffee Panama 2026 is the first World of Coffee trade show ever held in Central America, bringing the Specialty Coffee Association's premier event series to a coffee-producing country for the very first time. Held for the first time in Latin America, it connects coffee growers from all over the world with the global coffee industry, providing a space to strengthen business relationships, promote brands, and foster education, innovation, and sustainability throughout the whole coffee ecosystem. Billed as the largest gathering of Latin American specialty coffee producers and global buyers from the coffee industry, it takes place for the first time in the country of the renowned Panama Geisha. The show draws coffee producers, roasters, buyers, traders, equipment brands, and industry professionals from around the world. The event marks the SCA's first-ever trade show in a coffee-producing country and a significant step in promoting coffee consumption within producing countries, serving as an ideal platform for coffee professionals, producers, and traders worldwide to connect, network, and foster innovation in the specialty coffee sector. A major highlight is the co-located World Barista Championship.

About this venue

The Panama Convention Center hosts the global coffee community within its impressive, wave-shaped structure, located right by the iconic Panama Canal. It is a modern convention center situated on the shore of the Pacific entrance to the interoceanic Canal, hosting trade exhibitions, business meetings, conferences, tastings, and training spaces. Surrounded by lush nature and just steps away from the Biodiversity Museum, this state-of-the-art convention center offers an inspiring setting for innovation, connection, and celebration within the coffee world. The wave-shaped facility sits next to the Panama Canal and the Biodiversity Museum designed by Frank Gehry.
