Indy’s coffee leaders are constantly praised for their commitment to community and they need it to withstand the pandemic’s devastating impact on the commuters, freelancers, and restaurant workers who keep them in business.

: I know COVID-19 has had a lot of negative impacts, but as a consumer, it has been interesting to see the good things born out of everyone’s creativity, like new products.

Coffee Fest organizer Clarion Events Food & Beverage has announced that the Coffee Fest New York trade show originally scheduled to take place next March has been rescheduled for July 18-20 due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
“Considering both governmental direction and general public health advisories, a large face-to-face event is not possible at this time with the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the government issued guidelines throughout the State of New York,” Clarion Events Food & Beverage Group Vice President Tom Loughran said in an announcement of the decision yesterday.
