Panel guests include Charles Babinski (G&B Coffee), Eden-Marie Abramowicz (Bastet Coffee), Tony Konecny (LocoL), Julie Smith-Clementi (notNeutral) and Mike Phillips (Blue Bottle Coffee). Here’s more on the event from its official listing via AIGA:

Crafting a unique coffee experience isn’t solely about brewing a perfect cup of java; it’s about designing consumer appeal and developing brand relationship with a methodology, menu program, customer service, product architecture, store design, merchandising, packaging and more.

Our city is exploding with third-wave coffee roasters, baristas and cafés. Artisan purveyors are shaping an experience that’s gaining share in the $30 billion/year U.S. coffee market and cultivating a culture of coffee obsession. Join moderator Julie Wolfson and our panel of coffee crusaders to discuss the opportunities and challenges of designing a high quality coffee experience in Los Angeles.
