The 12th edition of the TriestEspresso Expo, a biennial business event for the international coffee industry, is scheduled to take place from October 21-23, 2026. The trade fair will be held at the Generali Convention Center in Trieste, Italy, a city with a long history as a major European coffee port.
Organizers have announced that the three-day event will feature B2B meetings, Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) competitions, and educational programming. The agenda is expected to address significant topics facing the industry, including market analysis, sourcing diversification, and the impact of new European Union regulations on the coffee supply chain.
The expo aims to bring together professionals from across the coffee value chain, from producers and traders to roasters and equipment manufacturers. According to event leadership, the gathering is particularly timely as the industry confronts challenges such as climate impacts in producing countries and logistical pressures. An International Coffee Convention is also slated to precede the main expo on October 19-20.
