Last month, the Specialty Coffee Association, or SCA, announced that registration for the 2021 Specialty Coffee Expo was officially open. This four-day event in New Orleans will feature more than 400 exhibitors showcasing their most innovative coffee products and services.

Workshop attendees will be mentored by guild leadership throughout the entire experience and discover how fun and functional collaboration can be.
In a statement from the SCA, the three individual guild-led sessions will focus on three key areas:
The All-Guild Workshop features:
