Earlier today, the team at Tamper Tantrum – one of the world’s premier platforms for coffee bickering, brainstorming, and live speaking engagements created by Colin Harmon and Stephen Leighton – released the first whisper of what watchers worldwide can expect from the hotly anticipated slate of programming at Tamper Tantrum 2013, happening in conjunction with the 2013 SCAE World of Coffee event in Nice, France. The list of confirmed speakers is a real who’s who, and best of all, you’ll be able to watch these talks live as they happen, no matter where you are in the world, thanks to the wonders of Lifestream. Even better, you’ll be able to ask questions of the speakers in a live Q&A format after the talks conclude, all powered by that grand God that rules us all, the social media.
Sprudge.com is positively delighted to announce that we’ll be there in Nice to report on the doings and goings for Tamper Tantrum Live, alongside a whole host of other events happening at SCAE World Of Coffee.
