\"Austin<\/a><\/p>\n

Registration is open for the 2027 National Coffee Association<\/a> (NCA) Convention<\/a>, taking place March 4-6 at the JW Marriott Austin in Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n

The U.S. coffee trade group expects approximately 800 industry professionals from throughout the coffee supply chain. The annual gathering is geared heavily toward business networking among executives and other decision-makers, alongside education on market, regulatory and consumer issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The preliminary program includes an early look at the spring 2027 National Coffee Data Trends (NCDT) report, an annual snapshot of U.S. coffee consumption<\/a> produced by the NCA. General sessions will also include a U.S. economy and markets outlook and a keynote presentation, with speakers yet to be announced.<\/p>\n

Workshops and breakout sessions are expected to address subjects including co-fermenting and flavored coffee, logistics, consumer trends, global markets and regulatory compliance. The program also includes tabletop exhibitors, receptions, networking breakfasts and coffee breaks, plus social events.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The NCA\u2019s Coffee Gives Back programming will include a March 4 volunteer project benefiting the Austin community. An International Women\u2019s Coffee Alliance<\/a> breakfast is scheduled for March 5. That day will also feature the NCA Awards Luncheon.<\/p>\n

Austin previously hosted the NCA Convention in 2020 and 2017.<\/p>\n

The convention will arrive after another busy year for the growing U.S. coffee industry. Green coffee prices have remained historically high while swinging sharply<\/a>, contributing to record retail coffee prices<\/a>. Rising fuel, fertilizer and shipping costs have added pressure, while U.S. companies have also navigated tariff changes and refunds<\/a> and emerging regulatory questions involving issues such as caffeine labeling<\/a> and methylene chloride in coffee decaffeination<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Early-bird registration for the March show runs through Dec. 10. Rates are $1,040 for NCA members and $1,665 for nonmembers, with prices increasing beginning Dec. 11. The Coffee Gives Back Day of Service and IWCA breakfast require additional registration fees.<\/p>\n

The 2027 event follows the 2026 NCA Convention in Tampa<\/a>, which drew coffee professionals from across the roasting, trading, manufacturing and allied sectors.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1911, the NCA says its member companies are responsible for approximately 90% of U.S. coffee commerce.<\/p>\n
