  • “The event was such an interesting event talking to so many different cafes and catering companies both old new. It was truly humbling and encouraging for a new environmental startup like mine to receive so much interest and support from the coffee shop establishment. I made many lasting connections from the sustainability trail and look forward to the next exhibition in 2020.”

    OneCup (2019)

  • “The Zerica/BeviLaNatura team had a fabulous time at the Coffee Shop Innovation/ Restaurant & Takeaway Innovation Expo this September at ExCeL, London. Having the 7 complementary shows all together really worked well for us; the footfall was good with visitors coming from across the entire food and beverage industry. We also managed to forge some interesting business contacts with fellow exhibitors who will hopefully be helping us to expand our product range with more enticing hot and cold drinks solutions. We loved our time at the Coffee Innovation Exhibition and have already booked our stand for 2019 so we hope to see you there!”
