Coffee conventions are great places to meet like-minded coffee professionals, but for the not-so-type-A types, these opportunities are often not as easily accessible. For this week\u2019s Coffee Fest in Denver<\/a> though, Oatly<\/a> and Atlas Coffee Importers<\/a> have teamed up to host Nice To Fika: A Coffee Centric Meetup<\/a>. Like speed dating but for coffee friendship, Nice To Fika allows even the most reserved participant the chance to interact with many well-known names in the coffee industry.<\/p>\n Taking place this Friday, June 8th<\/sup> at Zeppelin Station<\/a>, all ticketed guests will be able to spend five minutes one-on-one with six panelists, and will even receive a list of questions \u201cto help keep each chat flowing.\u201d According the to Facebook event page<\/a>, the panelists include:<\/p>\n After the conclusion of the speed round, the event will be opened to the public for music, food, and drinks.<\/p>\n Tickets<\/a> for the one-on-one meet up portion of Nice To Fika cost $10 ($12.31 with the Eventbrite service fee) and include food and beverage. The after-party is free to attend, but Atlas and Oatly ask that you RSVP by \u201cpurchasing\u201d a free general admission ticket, also through Eventbrite. All proceeds of the ticket sales will go to the Cafe Femenino Foundation<\/a>.<\/p>\n So if you\u2019re going to be at Coffee Fest Denver, break out of your shell in an inviting environment and make some new friends.<\/p>\n Zac Cadwalader<\/a>\u00a0is the news editor at Sprudge Media Network and a staff writer based in Dallas.\u00a0Read more Zac Cadwalader\u00a0on Sprudge<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n *images via Nice To Fika.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Nice To Fika: A Speed Round Coffee Meetup Happens In Denver On Friday<\/a> appeared first on Sprudge<\/a>.<\/p>\n Source: Coffee News<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Coffee conventions are great places to meet like-minded coffee professionals, but for the not-so-type-A types, these opportunities are often not as easily accessible.
