THE BARISTA LEAGUE'S GUIDE TO PLANNING BETTER EVENTS

PART MANIFESTO, PART HOW-TO GUDE, THIS BOOK WILL GIVE YOU ALL THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO CREATE, PRODUCE, AND DELIVER A GREAT COFFEE EVENT FOR YOUR COMMUNITY.

Through the years of producing The Barista League, many people have approached us for advice about how we do what we do. From finding sponsorship and coming up with concepts to creating budgets and actually delivering events - we certainly see how there could be a lot of question marks. Truthfully, there were for us in the beginning, too. The good news is, we’ve spent years working out the kinks so that now you don’t have to. And to give you expertise from different perspectives, we also reached out to a few friends who have produced some of the most exciting events in specialty coffee over the years for advice. This book is the answer to all of your most pressing event-planning questions. It’s what we all wish we knew when we started. Whether you are hoping to plan one small, local coffee gathering, or have big plans of producing the newest world-wide event - this book can help.
