It is the competitor’s responsibility to have their product to the convention center and arrive for their scheduled presentation on time. Competitors should bring their own hand truck or dolly to bring their cold brew and signature drink ingredients into the convention center. There will be a brewing area available to competitors in the two days before the event. Competitors are also permitted to store their cold brew in the refrigerated area, provided by Coffee Fest. Additional details will be made available to the competitors.

All applicants will be notified immediately following the application deadline regarding their acceptance into the competition. Competitors and one support person will receive complimentary show badges.

If a competitor is to pull out of the competition or is not present for their presentation, a “no-show” will be set against their record and may impact future competing opportunities. Efforts will be made to fill the spot with the next highest qualified applicant.
