Following a lengthy and complicated bidding process that started with over 60 bids, David Veal today announced the host cities for the next three consecutive SCAE World of Coffee events, following Nice 2013.

2014 Rimini, Italy
The impressive modern architecture of Rimini Fiera exhibition hall (pictured) has been confirmed as the main venue. The beautiful seaside town of Rimini on the Adriatic Riviera will provide another warm and sunny location for our event following our visit to Nice this coming June.

2015 Gothenburg, Sweden
Located on the west coast of Sweden, Gothenburg becomes the first Swedish city to host World of Coffee. The team from Gothenburg and the local Chapter have worked really hard on their bid and the award of the 2015 event is well deserved.

2016 Dublin, Ireland
Dublin is sure to put on a great party for our 2016 event, the local Chapter are really excited to get the event at last and all coffee lovers will get a great welcome.
