Amador Causeway hosts World of Coffee Panama from 23 to 25 October 2026 at the Panama Convention Center in Panama City. The event brings a major coffee trade programme to the waterfront setting beside the Pacific entrance to the Panama Canal.
The venue is on the causeway, a landmark road linking Panama City with three islands. Its Spanish name is used locally, but the English name is Amador Causeway.
World of Coffee brings its 2026 programme to Amador
World of Coffee Panama is scheduled for 23 to 25 October 2026. The organiser says this is the first time a World of Coffee event has been held in Latin America, with coffee producers, buyers and industry professionals forming the central audience.
The programme includes the 2026 World Barista Championship, which runs from 22 to 25 October. The championship brings more than 50 competitors from around the world to the Panama City venue, extending the coffee programme beyond the main three-day trade event.
The organiser describes Panama as a meeting point for producers from Central and South America and the Caribbean. It also presents Panama Geisha coffee as part of the country's position in the international coffee sector. The event page confirms the 23 to 25 October programme and the Panama Convention Center venue.
Amador Causeway connects canal history with the event
The Panama Convention Center stands beside the Panama Canal and near the Biomuseo. The organiser describes the building as wave-shaped and places it on Calle Gral. Juan D. Peron, within the causeway area.
The setting is part of a larger man-made landscape. Rock extracted during construction of the Panama Canal between 1904 and 1914 formed the causeway, which extends 6 kilometres (3.7 miles) into the Pacific and links the mainland with Naos, Perico and Flamenco islands.
That physical link gives the coffee event a clear local frame: delegates arrive at a convention venue built into a route created from canal construction material. The same area also contains former fortifications, the Biomuseo and the Punta Culebra Nature Center operated by the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute. These details are set out by Panama's official tourism guide.
From coffee championship to canal-side visitor setting
World of Coffee places an international industry gathering inside a district that combines convention facilities with public waterfront attractions. The official event page says the convention centre is close to the Biodiversity Museum and surrounded by greenery, while the tourism guide identifies views towards Panama City and the Pacific entrance to the canal.
For travellers, the event therefore offers two distinct points of reference. The convention centre is the dated venue for the coffee programme, while the causeway provides the historic and geographic context around it. The event itself remains the news peg; the surrounding attractions are established features of the place.
