The 2026 Guiyang International Coffee Expo will be held at the Guiyang International Conference and Exhibition Center from Sept 24 to 26. This marks Guiyang's first international high-specification expo covering the entire coffee industry chain.
As an industry event that benefits Guiyang and links global markets, the expo will feature over 10,000 square meters of exhibition space, more than 200 domestic and international participating brands, over 5,000 professional buyers, and more than 20 side events.
The successful hosting of the expo will fill a gap in Guiyang's primary and secondary coffee sectors, driving the local coffee ecosystem to extend from consumption-oriented activities toward a full-industry-chain development model.
The expo will feature eight themed exhibition zones, covering the entire coffee value chain – from cultivation, processing, roasting, and packaging to equipment, machinery, cultural creative products, and retail.
The global specialty coffee zone has already confirmed participation by 10 international coffee enterprises from Ethiopia, Vietnam, and Colombia, with more high-quality coffee bean origins from major producing countries – including Brazil, Kenya, Indonesia, Colombia, Costa Rica, Guatemala, the United States, and Saudi Arabia – also to be showcased at the expo.
The coffee equipment and machinery zone offers a comprehensive and impressive line-up, showcasing everything from roasters, grinders, and commercial espresso machines to packaging equipment. A wide array of cutting-edge machinery covering the entire coffee processing workflow will be on display.
Industry support services will also be present, including financial service providers for the coffee sector, plant and equipment leasing companies, and cold chain warehousing and logistics institutions. Additionally, cross-border e-commerce platforms and coffee trainer & certification bodies will join the expo, providing tangible support for coffee enterprises seeking to expand into overseas markets and addressing the shortage of professional talent.
Local high-quality dairy products, specialty beverages, and foreign trade service companies from Guiyang will be showcased, forming a complete exhibition section that spans from raw materials to end-consumer products.
