The 19th Seoul International Cafe Show 2020 was held on 4-7th November in Seoul, South Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the global Covid pandemic, the show was held in a new, “hybrid” format different from its previous exhibitions combining online and offline platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show concluded with successful numbers of 426 exhibitors, 72,388 visitors and 258,441 online visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cafe Show Seoul is the forst exhibition ever to collaborate with ‘Naver Shopping Live’ – one of Korea\u2019s largest live commerce platforms. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this live commerce platform, Cafe Show Seoul delivered business information from participating exhibitors to over 203,000 viewers, which led to elevated sales and provided a platform for business networking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This collaboration couldn’t have come at a better time, especially due to the Covid pandemic, many global exhibitions had to cancel or postpone due to travel restrictions, and health & safety concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cafe Show Seoul also partnered with six famous YouTubers in Korea to shoot various episodes of ‘Cafe Show Seoul 2020 Virtual Tour’. The YouTubers took online audiences to various parts of exhibition grounds and to visit exhibitor booths as a virtual tour experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the exhibitors who couldn’t travel, Cafe Show Seoul provided them with a platform called, ‘Smart Contact Program’. This is where they are offered to participate at an online webinar for their target audience and\/or at a booth directed by the exhibitor but manned by a professional assisting in promoting exhibitors\u2019 products to visitors at the show. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cafe Show Seoul\u2019s concurrent event, \u2018World Coffee Leaders Forum<\/a>,\u2019 invited global leaders of the industry to provide solutions for the current coffee industry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
