A festival moves into a shipyard.

The Amsterdam Coffee Festival 2025 at the NDSM warehouse

Our eighth year with Coffee Ventures Europe, and the first in a new venue. A walk through the hall, from empty floor to full room.

We partnered with Coffee Ventures Europe for the eighth year in a row, supporting the local production and exhibitor management of The Amsterdam Coffee Festival 2025. We also helped design the launch of a brand new feature: SIP. Together, we took care of the event in a brand new venue: the NDSM warehouse.

01
The empty hall
A former shipyard in Amsterdam-Noord, now one of the city's rawest cultural spaces. Vast open floor, graffiti on every surface, daylight down the spine of the roof. Everything a festival needs, and nothing it can lean on.

The room, full
Three days of coffee culture: passionate visitors, professional baristas, roasters and industry innovators moving through the hall under the lighting rig.

SIP, after hours
This edition was extra special with the launch of SIP: a new concept celebrating Amsterdam's finest cocktail bars, natural wine curators, vinyl-spinning DJs and buzzing nightlife gems. After a full day of coffee discoveries, a perfectly served cocktail in hand.
