2015 was a huge year for us here at The Barista, we just didn’t stop! With exhibitions across Europe, moving premises and attending more events than ever before it really has been a whirlwind. But there’s no time to sit back and think about the great times we had last year, we’re already well into 2016 and we’ve got a lot to look forward to.

So with that in mind, we thought we’d take a look at some of our favourite events coming up this year, where you’ll find us (should you want to) and why we’re excited about them. Who knows, maybe we’ll see you there?

First stop, Barcelona.

Mobile World Congress

Where? Fira Gran Via, Barcelona

When? 22nd – 25th Feb 2016

The Mobile World Congress is always an exciting event in a beautiful city, which is great to be a part of in any capacity. We’ve been there a few times and although it’s hard work it’s very much a great event to be involved in with the chance to work with some of our prestigious mobile tech clients by day and share some tapas as a team by night.

The event gets a global focus as the world awaits in anticipation for the latest mobile technology updates and it has a fantastic atmosphere too. For us it’s all about helping our clients provide top class coffee and hospitality for their customers and visitors to their stand.

London Coffee Festival 2016

Where? Old Truman Brewery

When? 7th – 10th April 2016

Can you guess why we love this one? A double whammy for us; doing what we do for our client to help them get the most out of their presence at the show and surrounded by speciality coffee. Bliss!

BIBA Conference 2016

Where? Manchester Central, Manchester

When? 11th & 12th May 2016

Another big event on our calendar. The BIBA Conference holds a special place in our hearts as it forms part of our heritage as a corporate event supplier as it was one of our very first events.

We’re still working with that same client and having picked up more long term clients at this event over the years, it’s always a very busy and exciting one for us. This year looks set for the same again with even more of our coffee enjoyed at the show than ever before. There is an infectious buzz around this event with the excitement of insurance brokers and suppliers all coming together at their main annual event. Great to be a part of!

BCS Annual Conference 2016

Where? Manchester Central

When? 6th – 8th June

We’ve been at this show for a number of years now, with multiple clients utilising our service. The best thing about this one is that we’ve had the chance to provide a range of services at the same event and with the summer weather potentially making a visit our clients have the choice to stick with coffee or take a more refreshing approach with a juice and smoothie bar. Pretty cool, eh?

EAACI Congress 2016

Where? Reed Messe Wien, Vienna

When? 12th – 14th June 2016

Oh, Vienna. The EAACI Congress is a huge annual medical conference where the coffee really is the focus point of our client’s impressive stand. We’re set to be even busier this year with an even bigger set up, so it really is one to look out for.

Have we missed out your event? Maybe you’ve got an exhibition coming up and you want to make a statement – or maybe you just want to give all your lovely stand visitors a nice cup of coffee? Why not get in touch and let us add a touch of class to your next event?
