Description

Join us for a panel discussion on Asians in Coffee hosted by Jackie Nguyen, owner of Cafe Cà Phê in Kansas City. Panelists will discuss issues and benefits gleaned through the experience of bringing Asian coffee culture to an American audience, and how non-Asian-owned coffee businesses can support the spreading of knowledge without cultural appropriation.

Other topics that will be covered:
How does it feel to be an Asian coffee professional?
What shifts can we predict with coffee and culture, pertaining to Asian coffee?
Why make space for Asian coffee and Asian professionals? 
What resources are out there for Asian coffee professionals, and what needs are there for our community?

This is a free session included in your general admission.
