23rd African Fine Coffees Conference & Exhibition

23rd African Fine Coffees Conference & Exhibition (Kampala 2027)

The African Fine Coffees Association (AFCA) will host the 23rd African Fine Coffees Conference & Exhibition (AFCC&E) on 17–19 February 2027 at Speke Resort, Munyonyo, Kampala, Uganda. Times on the conference site are marked in East Africa Time (EAT). The association homepage (afca.coffee) and the dedicated conference site both list these dates; the listed URL afca.coffee/conference/ currently returns HTTP 403, so this record uses conference.afca.coffee.

AFCA was founded in July 2000 as a member-based non-profit representing producers, traders, governments and support organisations. It currently lists 11 member countries and has hosted AFCC&E in member countries for more than two decades. The conference site describes three days of plenaries, sessions, workshops and networking, plus cupping at a B2B pavilion, industry sessions, coffee competitions, career workshops, and meetings with producers, exporters and green buyers. The exhibition hall is presented as the trade floor for producers, exporters, roasters, café owners and innovators.

The full 2027 programme is still being finalised; no official daily opening/closing hours are published yet. Registration is open at conference.afca.coffee/register. Exhibit and sponsorship applications are also on the conference site. Co-located branding includes the 4th African Coffee Week (mentioned in AFCA launch communications; not used as a substitute date).
