Welcome to Re:co 2023’s Seminar Day

If Wednesday’s programming is about drawing a map of the emerging future for the collective, Thursday’s seminar sessions are about creating the space for each participant to begin to chart their own path through what lies ahead. Offered across four simultaneous rooms of presentation and discussion, this year’s seminars offer opportunities to engage with the existential questions facing coffee’s future, case studies and modes of thinking to approach the coffee businesses, and updates on the Coffee Science Foundation’s ongoing research projects. Several seminars this year, particularly those on the topic of coffee’s value assessment or distribution, are scheduled over two 90-minute sessions in order to allow for a more hands-on, workshop-like approach to the topic; others may ask participants for a small amount of pre-event thinking before attending in order to make the most of the time together.
