The NZCPA Committee are excited to announce Seeka as the Principal Partner for its 2026 Event Series. This partnership represents a welcome investment in the future of New Zealand’s specialty coffee industry. With Seeka’s support, NZCPA will be able to enhance the quality and impact of its events which are an important platform for sharing knowledge and building capability as the industry develops.
The 2026 Event Series includes the Annual Conference and two Field Days, each designed to connect, inform, and inspire New Zealand’s coffee growing community. By bringing together growers, researchers, industry experts, and emerging producers, the events provide deeper insights into agronomy, production techniques, research developments, and market opportunities, as well as valuable spaces for networking and collaboration.
With increased support, NZCPA are able to bring more to the programme, including hosting international speakers and greater access to global coffee industry expertise.
Jim Smith, GM New Business & Marketing at Seeka, says “Seeka is proud to support the NZCPA in 2026. These events play a vital role in bringing people together, sharing practical insights, and building capability in this new industry. We see real value in supporting a platform where growers and stakeholders can learn from each other as progress continues”
NZCPA Chair, Peter Shepherd, highlighted the importance of the partnership in delivering greater value to members and attendees. “This partnership allows us to take our events to the next level. With Seeka's support, we can bring international speakers to New Zealand and expand the depth and quality of our programme. Ultimately, it means better learning opportunities, stronger connections, and more value for all who are participating.”
The 2026 NZCPA Event Series builds on the last three years of work and will play a critical role in fostering a resilient, future-focused specialty coffee industry in New Zealand.
