A Week for the Cocoa World
Chocoa isn’t a single event — it’s a full-blown experience that stretches across the city of Amsterdam during Amsterdam Cocoa Week (16–22 February 2026). Over the course of seven days, the event brings together farmers, traders, researchers, makers, and chocolate lovers from around the world to share ideas, explore trends, and build the future of the chocolate industry.
Within this week:
Trade Fair — A business-to-business showcase with more than 190 exhibitors and 3,000 professionals. Here, producers present everything from sustainable cacao beans to new processing technologies.
Conferences and Forums — Industry leaders discuss big-picture challenges like climate change, fair pricing, traceability, and innovation in sourcing cacao.
Farmer’s Day & Special Sessions — Events focused on voices rarely heard in mainstream chocolate conversations — the farmers themselves.
It’s a week that connects people across the entire value chain, from bean to bar — and from farm to shop.
The Sweet Finale: Chocoa Chocolate Festival
The consumer-friendly heart of Chocoa takes place on the weekend: the Chocoa Chocolate Festival on 21–22 February 2026 at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam.
If you’re a chocolate lover who enjoys tasting, learning, and discovering new makers, this is the part of Chocoa you won’t want to miss.
