World Coffee Leaders Forum

WCLF Invitation

The World Coffee Leaders Forum, celebrating its 14th anniversary this year, presents a new vision under the theme "The Architects of Gastronomic Experience." Serving as a stage that connects taste, space, culture, and philosophy, this forum brings together those who “Architects of joy in every sip and every bite,” sharing their stories and diverse insights.

Building on the success of the past 13 years, the 2025 Forum will gather not only coffee industry experts but also leading global figures from branding, spatial design, F&B, culture, and design. These professionals will come together to transform their unique philosophies into industry-shaping trends. The World Coffee Leaders Forum is now leading a new paradigm in the gourmet industry, transcending coffee to encompass F&B, space design, cultural philosophy, and sustainability. As the nexus of global knowledge exchange, it continues to inspire creative insights and fresh inspiration in gastronomy. We invite your keen attention and active participation so that the World Coffee Leaders Forum may serve as a platform for the next wave of innovative thinking and inspiration in the industry.

Thank you.

This year, the "World Coffee Leaders Forum" celebrates its 13th anniversary and will explore the theme of 'Designing Diversity in the Coffee Industry.' In a rapidly changing environment, the forum highlights the keyword of 'diversity' from various angles. We'll look at diversity through the perspectives of business, culture, and the environment, and explore how it can drive innovation and creative growth.

Building on 12 years of successful events, the 2024 forum will bring together representatives from coffee businesses, experts, associations, research and educational institutions, franchise and distribution operators, importers and exporters, coffee producers, embassies, baristas, and general consumers from 77 countries. Participants will discuss how coffee intersects with space, cities, and culture, and debate the future direction of the coffee industry.

We encourage you to join us and support the "World Coffee Leaders Forum" as we work towards a meaningful vision for the sustainable development of the coffee industry.

Yours sincerely,

Danny Shin Chair,World Coffee Leaders Forum Organizing Committee
