Calendar signals
What the 2026-2027 event map shows
Peak Global Activity
May 2026 is the most densely packed month for the industry, featuring 9 major international events including World of Coffee Bangkok and IWCA Global Convention.
The “World of Coffee” Global Circuit
The Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) maintains consistent global coverage by rotating its premier trade show across 4 distinct continents in the listed calendar: North America (San Diego, April), Asia (Bangkok, May), Europe (Brussels, June), and Latin America (Panama City, October).
Regional Dominance in Brazil
Brazil demonstrates its dual role as a production and consumption powerhouse, hosting 4 key events in the listed calendar: Fispal Food Service (May), Sao Paulo Coffee Festival (June), FIPAN 2026 (July), and Semana Internacional do Café (SIC) (November).
US Market Continuity
The Coffee Fest series provides steady trade access for the American market, moving regionally through New York (March), Chicago (June), Los Angeles (August), Fort Worth (October), New York (March), and Chicago (June).
Specialized Origin Focus
A distinct subset of events maintains a strict focus on the origin side of the industry rather than retail, including African Fine Coffees (AFCA) (Ethiopia, February), IWCA Global Convention (Indonesia, May), Kona Coffee Cultural Festival (USA, November), and Semana Internacional do Café (SIC) (Brazil, November).
These signals are generated from the event data, so the peak month, country concentrations, circuit stops, and origin-focused subset will shift as new events are added or existing entries change.
