Craft Chocolate Community Program

 

The place where the global craft chocolate community comes together. 

The renown ‘Chocolate Makers’ Forum has been restyled to offer more for the craft chocolate community! It is now a curated community experience within Chocoa, designed specifically for chocolate makers and the wider craft chocolate value chain.  

​

The Craft Chocolate Community Program combines tailor made sessions, peer to peer tastings and social events with the most relevant Chocoa sessions, trade fair access, cocoa talks, tastings and networking opportunities into one curated program with lots of networking opportunities. More than an event. A community. 

​

The Craft Chocolate Community Program is built around a simple idea: meaningful connections create stronger businesses and a stronger chocolate sector. Over several days, makers, retailers, traders, machinery makers and other innovators and industry experts come together to share knowledge, exchange experiences and build lasting relationships.  

Whether you are looking to grow your business, discover new market opportunities, explore sourcing and sustainability challenges, refine your craft, find your business opportunity within chocolate or simply connect with peers who understand your journey, the program offers a welcoming and highly relevant environment.
