Important information about The 2020 Canadian Coffee & Tea Show
The Canadian Coffee & Tea Show, after extensive consultation with industry stakeholders, has decided to postpone the show that was scheduled for November 29 & 30, 2020 at the Toronto Congress Centre. The Canadian Coffee & Tea Show will now be taking place September 19 & 20, 2021 at the Toronto Congress Centre.
In consulting with our industry partners, including suppliers, distributors and operators, we have gained a clearer understanding of the challenges that they are currently facing. From revenue interruptions to safety considerations, staffing issues, and corporate travel restrictions, combined with uncertain local health department regulations and re-opening schedules, the challenges are unprecedented.
We feel that this decision is in the best interest of The Canadian Coffee & Tea Show community of attendees, exhibitors, and sponsors.
Please stay safe for now, and we look forward to seeing you at the highly anticipated show in September 2021.
