The George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston played host to the 2025 Specialty Coffee Expo last weekend, drawing tens of thousands of coffee professionals from around the world. Just a few weeks ago, we found out that this would be the last Specialty Coffee Expo—or at least, the last trade show with that name. Next year, Expo is getting a rebrand and falling under the World of Coffee umbrella, a series of global trade shows hosted by the Specialty Coffee Association.
