“Dear potential sponsor! Finally, there’s a multi-day event that shines a spotlight on the Antwerp Specialty Coffee scene: the Antwerp Coffee Week. Countless events, competitions, promotions in 30+ coffee and lunch bars, and a monthlong buzz around the best coffee and everything related to it. A Smiling Barista and many other fun content creators will showcase this week before, during, and after the event. You’d want to contribute for less, because you’ll be seen!”
