Tea & Coffee World Cup

World Cup Conference & Exhibition

Rome, Italy

It's almost time for the next Tea & Coffee World Cup, which will be held in the eternal city of Rome, Italy from June 15-17, 2003. After four successful European shows, Tea & Coffee Trade Journal, the industry's oldest and most respected trade magazine, and our sister publication, Tea & Coffee Asia, are hosting the fifth installment of the World Cup Conference & Exhibition. We've brought tea and coffee professionals together in Vienna, Barcelona, Amsterdam, even Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, now we're heading down the boot to the land of Davinci (the painter not the syrup manufacturer), Michelangelo, and Botticelli in addition to the other masters Illy, Lavazza, Brasilia, and IMA just to name a few.

With mote than 300 growers, exporters, importers, coffee roasters, equipment manufacturers and tea packers from more than 140 countries expected to exhibit, Tea & Coffee World Cup Rome is already exceeding expectations for both the quality and quantity of exhibitors and participants, but would you expect anything less from the birthplace of espresso and European coffeebars, not to mention the Roman Empire. We at Tea & Coffee are excited about the prospects of such an informative gathering of the industry greats. Among the exhibitors are familiar faces as well as new-comers making their mark in the industry. You won't want to miss this golden opportunity to represent your company and to learn more about the most recent industry developments. Companies like Cia Lilla, La Marzocco, Probar, Schoeller & Hoesch, Xeltron, Bravilor Bonamar have already reserved their space to be a part of this monumental show.

If you are looking to exchange information, this year is the perfect year to attend. We have invited guests to the symposium who are ready to inform you and answer your questions about increasingly important topics.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do...drink coffee! While visiting this historic city, you can tour the Forum, walk up the Spanish Steps, splash around in Trevi Fountain, buy some Italian leather and indulge in exceptional local cuisine.

The Colosseum was booked between June 15-17, 2003, but we were able to reserve space in the state-of-the-art Fiera Di Roma Exhibition Center. So hop on your Vespa and join us for another exciting adventure in the world of coffee and tea! For more information about the upcoming Tea & Coffee World Cup, please log on to www.rcworldcup.net.
