Hawaii Coffee Association 28th Annual Conference, Trade Show & 14th Statewide Cupping Competition June 15 - 17, 2023 HCA will be hosting its Annual Conference and Cupping Competition on the island of Kauai in the beautiful Kauai Beach Resort & Spa. Please join us for a weekend of education, fellowship and fun! We've assembled a vibrant and interactive lineup of presenters and exhibitors. Our conference schedule is packed with industry professionals at the top of their field. We’ve planned interactive workshops on cupping, roasting, green grading, brewing, grinding and field grafting, seminars on coffee fermentation and roast theory. Events include a networking cocktail mixer, Latte Art Throwdown at the Outpost Cafe, our always-popular Statewide Cupping Competition awards ceremony, where you can taste the winning coffees, and a delicious full service dinner.
Keynote Speaker: Marc Marquez, Director of Coffee at Savor Brands

The Cupping Competition is the Hawaii Coffee Association's opportunity to honor the work of Hawaii coffee growers. For growers, the competition provides benefits such as feedback from professional coffee tasters (Licensed Q Graders); new market opportunities with buyers willing to pay premiums for high quality coffees; and the opportunity we have as a community to collaborate in the progression and improvements of Hawaii Coffee.
