Questex introduced the newly rebranded World Tea Expo, blending fresh ideas, the latest trends and new distribution channels, with a focus on buying, selling, networking and education.
The reimagined event will be held March 18-20, 2024 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and early bird registration is now open through Jan. 22, 2024.
World Tea Expo attracts a concentrated audience of tea buyers – including retailers, tea shop and tearoom owners, restaurants, grocers, universities, health and wellness venues, bars, plus many other hospitality venues looking for the latest tea products to support their business growth.
Sample Teas from Around the World
Attendees can explore the immersive expo hall – with more than 200 suppliers – and sample teas from around the world, as well as kombucha, boba tea, spices, herbs and botanicals, and new tea cocktails and teas at the enhanced Tea Bar. Attendees can also discover the latest in packaging, technology, supplies and innovation, and exhibitors and sponsors can meet with new buyers and new prospects.
The expanded conference program – with new conference tracks, data sessions, new tea primer certification, a high profile industry keynote, and much more – will help set-up attendees and their business for success. By attending, World Tea Expo participants will gain invaluable insights from industry legends, up-and-comers and successful operators.
Key networking events, including the exciting meet and greet, opening night reception, first-time attendee happy hour, and a new industry happy hour, offer an opportunity for attendees to connect and meet new prospects and existing customers.
