The GCP Country Congress and Membership Assembly 2019 is the exclusive gathering for national, international, public, and private sector stakeholders to learn, exchange, create, and collaborate to achieve real, measurable impact on the livelihoods of coffee farming families around the world.
From best practices and industry trends to guidance on scaling up and real examples of sustainability leadership, learn and exchange on how coffee stakeholders are working together to tackle the most threatening issues facing a country’s coffee sector.
Meet and network with a diverse range of key decision-makers from business, government, NGOs, and other supply chain actors.
Discover concrete opportunities to develop or join collective action initiatives and achieve far greater impact on the livelihoods of coffee farming families.
Delegates from 11 National Coffee Platforms will come together for a learning and exchange workshop to strengthen the capacity of the platforms to tackle their country’s most pressing sustainability challenges.
Sustainability for GCP Members isn't just a buzzword or side-thought. It is core to their business strategy and to the individuals who represent them. Which is what makes such gatherings of GCP Members so kinetic. Join us for an evening of engaging discussion and meaningful connection.
Find out what GCP Members, Country Platforms, and strategic partners are already doing to improve the livelihoods of coffee farmers. And how you can contribute to collectively address those systemic issues that hinder our efforts.
Re-energize yourself with our favourite caffeinated beverage and say hello to familiar faces and get know new ones!
GCP Member Initiatives connect national coffee platforms with the global coffee sector to collectively address the biggest issues in coffee production. This session will show you how to optimize your sustainability investments and multiply their impact through pooling resources, knowledge, and networks to tackle identified sustainability gaps that lead to meaningful, measurable, and long-term change.
Good food goes hand in hand with good conversation! Enjoy your delicous lunch at one of many topic tables and exchange perspectives, ideas, and contact details.
As a membership organization, GCP is driven by the collective ambition of its members. You are the sustainability leaders who shape the strategic direction of the organization and the ways in which it can best support you to accelerate your company's path towards sustainability. Which is why your voice is needed to shape the plan for 2020 as well as to elect those who will represent you at the Board level for the next 3 years.
GCP Members understand that it is time to act and many are already working together to tackle the current price crisis and underlying issues. Whether through engaging with the international coffee exchanges, sharing sustainability commitments, collaborating with national coffee platforms, or cooperating with governmental and donor agencies, take this chance to further engage and collaborate with like-minded companies and contribute to long-term change for the future of coffee.
The Global Coffee Platform's network of members and country platforms are all about action! Let's wrap up a day full of inspiration, exchange, and collaboration by setting out a clear collective ambition for the coming 12 months!
Carry on the conversation with some delicious coffee and treats!
