Description

NZSCA Symposium 2012 in association with Huhtamaki

The NZSCA Symposium is the New Zealand Specialty Coffee Association's annual 'think tank' event, which launched in 2011 with keynote speakers James Hoffmann, Ric Rhinehart, Ellie Matuszak and Mark Dundon, as well as speakers from the New Zealand coffee industry.

Theme 2012: There's no such thing as a crowded market

How often have we heard one of our peers say: "The problem is there's just too many of us, it's just so much harder to make a dollar these days".

Each of the NZSCA Symposium 2012 speakers started business hearing the same words but have successfully worked out their point of difference and carved out their share of the market.

Our speakers will present their unique perspective on this year's theme and provide insight into how they have made their own businesses thrive.

We are very excited to announce our seven speakers - local and international.

Doug Zell, CEO Intelligentsia

Lessons on cool - there's always a new cool

Roasting facilities in three major cities, Doug is founder and CEO of the company that coined the terms 'direct trade' 'smackdown' and 'throwdown' and is the father of the 'cool-school' of American baristas.

Stephen Leighton, HasBean UK

Swimming in a sea of shit - standing out through quality

Steve founded HasBean, an online coffee store with thousands of regular subscribers, and is at the forefront of the web age of coffee. He hosts the popular In My Mug weekly show.
