About Workshops

Workshops allow participants to spend 2.5 - 3.5 hours learning about a topic and applying those learnings to hands-on, problem-solving scenarios. Workshops focus on various subject areas across the coffee value chain, complementing SCA’s certificate-based education programs by providing a “deep dive” into a single topic or skill.

Workshops are available to all World of Coffee attendees for an additional fee. Add a workshop to your badge at registration.
