FAQ

The Semana Internacional do Café (SIC) is one of the main professional events in Brazil’s coffee sector and one of the largest coffee trade shows in the world. The event brings together producers, cooperatives, roasters, coffee shops, baristas, buyers, exporters, companies, experts and other professionals from across the coffee chain with the goal of connecting people, expanding access to markets, sharing knowledge and generating business opportunities.

The SIC offers a diverse program featuring lectures, courses, workshops, business meetings, cupping rooms, competitions and experiences, providing opportunities for training, networking and knowledge exchange among the different segments of the coffee chain.

In 2026, the SIC will take place from November 11 to 13, at Expominas (6,200 Amazonas Avenue – Gameleira), in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.

The event is primarily aimed at professionals and new participants in the coffee chain. In 2026, final consumers will be allowed to access the event on its last day, expanding the SIC experience to people interested in coffee and its different forms of consumption.

Individual registration is required to participate in the SIC. Registration can be completed in advance through the official website or in person at the event. Your badge can be printed before arriving or collected at the self-service terminals available at the venue.
