HAWAIʻI’S COFFEE COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER IN MAUI

The Hawaiʻi Coffee Association welcomed growers, processors, roasters, researchers, educators, industry partners, and coffee supporters to Maui for the 2026 HCA Annual Conference & Trade Show. Held at the University of Hawaiʻi Maui College and locations throughout Maui, this year’s conference offered four days of hands-on education, meaningful industry conversations, new connections, and celebration. Centered around a “Back to School” theme, the conference moved beyond a traditional classroom format. Participants learned directly from farms, mills, nurseries, coffee businesses, researchers, and fellow industry professionals—creating opportunities to see Hawaiʻi’s coffee industry at work.
