Questionnaire and RSVP ~ Caffeine Crawl 100
•
Our 1st Coast To Coast Virtual Caffeine Crawl
October 19 - Launch date
This is the 10th year of Caffeine Crawl. What started as an event to bring curious consumers and industry pros together in our Kansas City backyard in September of 2011, has grown into the country's most popular traveling event connecting one side of the bar to the other. We have hosted 98 Caffeine Crawls, plus a few side industry events, over the years from Southern California to Portland, Maine. Caffeine Crawl gives individuals an opportunity to learn, share and experience what the passionate baristas, tea soms, coffee roasters, chocolatiers and other local, artisan producers in their communities bring to the table. It has always been about community, interaction, education, and good times. Learn more here.

We have continued with a few Crawls since COVID, but obviously they aren't the same with our safety precautions in place and the current situation. With #100 coming up we wanted to make this different and special, and that's why you are receving this invite. One of the things that has always bothered us is that there are parts of the country where we haven't been able to host a Crawl yet. We are a very, very small business, and we've always had to go where it just worked the most efficiently and kept our business afloat.

This Caffeine Crawl 100 will include only 30 places that haven't had the opportunity to be a participating business on one of our prior events. In order to participate this is what is required:

How it works:
- We will create 3 different routes for ticket holders to choose from made up of 10 different participating shops/businesses, plus a few features from sponsors on each route. We will balance the routes based on topic of content and
See example here -
A few reminders:
- It doesn't cost anything for a business to participate. The short version is each participating location is to provide a drink or chocolate (if chocolatier) sample and talk/demo/presentation during the 25 minutes (longer if a sponsor and want extra time) the group/route is at their location.
- Group sizes for a full route is 15 people (think 5 to 7 groups of 2/3) and a tour guide. Your time as a participating shop/roaster is approved by you before everything goes live.
- We have produced 97 Caffeine Crawls to date, and this will be number 99, so we like to think we have this down to a science even among the current hurdles. More details can be found here, but do NOT hesitate to ask questions.
