World of Coffee Dubai 2024

Organised by DXB Live, the third edition of World of Coffee Dubai 2024 was hosted at #DubaiWorldTradeCentre, bringing together coffee producers, manufacturers, retailers, traders, and the broader industry. Tailored for the UAE's coffee businesses and those entering the emerging Middle East coffee scene, the event showcased the Roaster Village, the UAE National Championships, the SCA Community Lounge, a Best New Product Competition, and displays, lectures, and much more.

We spoke with key industry figures, including Khalid Al-Hammadi, SVP at DXB Live; Saeed Al-Suwaidi, Director at Argi Commodities, Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC); and Yannis Apostolopoulos, CEO of Specialty Coffee Association, each of whom provided their own unique overviews of the event and its impact on the region's coffee industry.
