World of Coffee will visit Warsaw twice and Ptak Warsaw Expo

We are pleased to announce that the next edition of World of Coffee – the largest coffee event in Europe will take place in Warsaw at Ptak Warsaw Expo on June 16-18, 2022, and the organizers have also decided to locate the second edition of this wonderful event two years later on June 20-22, 2024. This will be a great opportunity for promotion for Warsaw and Poland. Due to the coronavirus pandemic and difficulties related to traveling, the Specialty Coffee Association was forced to cancel the organization of the event in 2020 in Warsaw. "We are very proud that thanks to the final decision of the Specialty Coffee Association, Ptak Warsaw Expo has been selected twice to host the World of Coffee 2022 and 2024, which will have a very positive impact on the promotion of Warsaw and Poland on the international market.

This is particularly encouraging news in the current, difficult times of the pandemic. We are convinced that Warsaw and Ptak Warsaw Expo will be the ideal hosts for this world-famous event. In years without the pandemic, Ptak Warsaw Expo organizes about 30 of its own fairs, and is also the venue for many international events run by external organizers. We are visited by over a million visitors a year from all over the world. We are glad that the bad news about the need to cancel this year's edition of WOC was ultimately turned into good news and participants of World of Coffee 2022 and 2024 will be able to enjoy Polish hospitality," says Tomasz Szypuła, CEO of Ptak Warsaw Expo.
