Be the next cafe speaker
The The Cafe Awards stage is for people with something useful to say about where the cafe industry is going. If that is you, we would like to hear from you.
Scale your impact
A speaking slot at the ceremony puts you in front of the people who decide where budgets, partnerships and talent go next.
A room worth speaking to
Founders, directors and decision makers from across the cafe industry, not a general business audience.
Scale your impact
Your session reaches the room on the day and the wider audience that follows the awards afterwards.
Authority, not advertising
Speaking slots go to people with something to say. Pitch decks stay in the bag; insight is what gets booked.
Tell us what you would talk about
Send a short outline of your topic and why it matters to independent cafes, coffee shops, tearooms and bakery cafes, and the baristas, owners, teams, roasters and suppliers behind them. Mention “speaker” in your message and it reaches the programme team.
- Independent cafe owners on surviving and thriving on the high street
- Coffee sourcing, roasting and what customers really notice
- Cutting waste and costs at the same time
- Building and keeping a great cafe team
A category for every kind of cafe
Independent cafes, coffee shops, tearooms, brunch spots, bakery cafes, baristas, owners, teams, roasters and suppliers: 24 ways to be recognised.
