Baltimore’s Coffee Fest
The Coffee Fest takes place in the Baltimore (Maryland) Convention Center March Friday, Saturday and Sunday (March 16, 17 and 18, 2018).
The organizers note that this event is for Trade-Industry professionals only AND people looking to enter the coffee & tea industry; not open to the general public or consumer coffee fans. So, if you’re not already a coffee and/or tea professional, Road Trips Foodies, you need to be an aspirant.
Exhibition hours are noon to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday plus 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. Educational training takes place from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday plus 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. Topics include hands-on barista training, cold-brewing, even how to purchase an espresso machine.
If you’re hoping to open a coffee café but can’t get to Baltimore this weekend, Coffee Fest Denver will be June 8, 9 and 10, 2018, and Coffee Fest Los Angeles is August 19, 20 and 21, 2018.
