Frontiers: Coffee Beyond the Cup
Great coffee emerges from healthy ecosystems. This year we're exploring the support structures that power possibility, from sensory science, accessible healthcare, nonprofit partnerships, and the economics and environments that sustain coffee producing communities.


Our third annual symposium unites innovators and legends from the coffee world and beyond, joining The Crown team on the stage to discuss, collaborate, and explore what the frontiers of specialty coffee looks like.
This year's format is a little different, with a full session on Friday, September 18 and a "Public Day" on Saturday the 19th in an effort to engage, taste, think, and discuss in a more open format.
Our goal is to unite coffee makers and drinkers in unconventional coffee tastings and pairings, engaging conversations, and meaningful workshops to elevate our appreciation of coffee.
