MEDELLÍN, Colombia – The seventh edition of the Producer & Roaster Forum will be held on September 14 and 15 in Medellín, Colombia. Producer & Roaster Forum was established as a platform to share knowledge, drive green coffee sales, and support global coffee experts to build long-term commercial relationships in a producing country.
“In 2023, the second iteration of PRF Colombia is set to be the biggest and best event of its kind – an industry-leading coffee event that takes place in a producing country,” explains Julio Guevara, Director of PRF. “Here, you’re able to simultaneously connect with industry leaders from Latin America and network with global professionals in that context.”
At the forum, attendees and exhibitors will have the opportunity to learn from industry leaders at lectures and panel discussions, as well as participating in cupping sessions, workshops, and competitions – all while enjoying some of Colombia’s finest coffees at the Brew Bar and Espresso Bar.
For professionals across the supply chain, the Producer & Roaster Forum presents an incredible opportunity, whether through networking as an attendee or showcasing a brand as an exhibitor.
Alongside this, there are also a limited number of sponsorship opportunities for PRF Colombia, as with previous events. Sponsors who have already confirmed their participation include Mayorga Coffee, MTPak Coffee, Coffee Intelligence, and Ally Coffee.
Colombia is home to more than half a million coffee-producing families, and is the third-largest coffee producer in the world.
The coffee industry is a central pillar of the country’s economy, and Colombian coffee enjoys an outstanding reputation on the international stage.
Colombia also has a vibrant, thriving culture of coffee consumption, with a number of leading specialty coffee brands based in Medellín.
In 2022, PRF Colombia welcomed more than 2,000 coffee producers and hundreds of green coffee buyers, as well as roasters, traders, baristas, and coffee competitors.
