Following the resounding success of their last pairing in 2024, the two organisations are inviting stakeholders to the Beurs van Berlage venue for the flagship annual event, bringing together cocoa farmers, industry leaders, investors, NGOs, governments, donors and civil society.

The conferences come under the aegis of the third Amsterdam Cocoa Week, when the Dutch capital becomes the global epicentre for the industry.

In addition to Chocoa and the WCF Partnership Meeting, the week will be dedicated to sustainability, innovation, connection, and celebration across the entire cocoa value chain.

The Chocoa 2026 Sustainability Conference will focus on ‘building resilience in the cocoa sector with Amsterdam continuing to be a key player as a global hub.

Under the theme 'Securing Cocoa’s Future in a Changing World,' the WCF Partnership Meeting promises an opportunity to align with the full value of the cocoa chain, share insights, and shape responses to the sector’s biggest challenges, including climate disruption, regulatory shifts, modernisation, supply pressures, and innovation.

Other highlights of the week include the Cacao of Excellence Awards Ceremonies; the Chocolate Makers’ Forum (Feb 18–20): an international platform for knowledge exchange, market strategies, and collaboration between craft makers. Plus, the Chocoa Chocolate Festival (Feb 21–22): a public celebration at Beurs van Berlage with tastings, exhibitors, workshops, and 8,000+ chocolate lovers.

“Whether you are a cocoa producer, trader, chocolate maker, policymaker, or a passionate chocolate lover, Amsterdam Cocoa Week 2026 is your opportunity to connect, learn, taste and make an impact,” a spokesperson for Chocoa said.
