Crafting a unique coffee experience isnโ€™t solely about brewing a perfect cup of java; itโ€™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 cafรฉs. Artisan purveyors are shaping an experience thatโ€™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.
