Chocoa Conference

Sustainability is a process, not a status. Chocoa provides a platform for the international debate on the progress of sustainability in the cocoa and chocolate industry. It bridges the gap between fine flavour and mainstream cocoa and establishes links with sustainability and quality projects in other commodities. The Conference brings together interesting speakers from all over the world and an audience of over 300 stakeholders from all parts of the cocoa supply chain. Hot topics, new insights, excellent speakers and cutting-edge debates, the Conference is an exciting experience for everyone interested in sustainability and cocoa. Visitors to the Conference also have access to the live Cocoa Auction on 22 February 2019.

The programme of this event is spread over 2 half days on 21 February 2019 (from 13:00 - 17:00) and on 22 February 2019 (from 10:00 - 17:00). This includes the Auction and complimentary drinks.

Chocoa invites participants to visit the Trade Fair before, during or after the Conference. This is a great opportunity to meet producers of cocoa, machine makers and companies in the supply chain of cocoa and chocolate. Access to the Trade Fair is free for Conference participants.
