Starting in 2026, Expo En Taza will become an SCA Event Partner and Competition Body Argentina, marking a new milestone for the specialty coffee scene in the country. Becoming an SCA Event Partner means joining an international network connected to the Specialty Coffee Association, one of the most important organizations in the world for education, standards, events, and professional development within the specialty coffee industry. For Expo En Taza, this step creates an opportunity to connect Argentina’s coffee scene with a global community, open new spaces for exchange, and support the growth of the sector with a professional, federal, and internationally focused vision. At the same time, the role of Competition Body Argentina allows Expo En Taza to organize national competitions within the World Coffee Championships, the most recognized competitive circuit in the global specialty coffee industry. This gives Argentine baristas, tasters, professionals, and emerging talents the opportunity to compete in official stages, grow under international standards, and project their work onto the world stage. For Argentina, this achievement is much more than an institutional recognition. It is a concrete opportunity to organize, strengthen, and give visibility to the talent that already exists in the country. It also helps create spaces for education, professional development, and connection among everyone who is part of the value chain: roasters, coffee shops, baristas, suppliers, brands, institutions, entrepreneurs, and highly engaged consumers. Expo En Taza was created with the goal of building a meeting point for the coffee community. Since its first edition, the expo has worked to bring together the key players in the sector, encourage new business relationships, share technical knowledge, and help build a stronger, more diverse, and more connected coffee scene. The 2026 edition will bring together more than 50 exhibitors, cupping spaces, a lecture stage, and national competitions connected to the international specialty coffee circuit. This new role as SCA Event Partner and Competition Body Argentina reaffirms Expo En Taza’s commitment to excellence, education, and innovation. It also places Córdoba and Argentina on the international specialty coffee map, supporting the growth of new professionals and projecting local talent to the world.
Key takeaway
Expo En Taza becomes an SCA Event Partner and Competition Body Argentina, strengthening the professional development of specialty coffee in the country and enabling official national competitions within the World Coffee Championships.
