It takes place March 31 to April 3, and will include, like, the events of the country’s coffee industry. These include:

HOTELEX Shanghai is one of the biggest events in the world, with 10 different sectors geared toward the hospitality industry. Two of those sectors are applicable to coffee: the Food & Beverage sector, and the Coffee & Tea sector. And believe me, you won’t feel like you even have enough time to see everything in those two sectors — this show is massive. There are more than 1,500 exhibitors! And last year, almost 85,000 people attended! That’s bananas!
