Prague Coffee Festival 22-23 October

What is Prague Coffee Festival about?

The first ever Prague Coffee Festival took place in 2012. This October (22.-23.) it will celebrate for the fifth time all that is new and exciting on the coffee scene.
Prague Coffee Festival came into existence with the idea of promoting coffee culture and getting-together everyone who is keen on coffee: proffesional baristas, coffeeshop owners, coffee “beginners” and also people who are knowledgeable but want to learn more and more about it.
Recently a lot of attention has been paid to coffee, particularly to specialty coffee and to new brewing techniques which has even become popular among the general public. This fact was positively reflected in greater turnout of the first two years of our festival.
The Festival weekend is filled with tastings, coffeeshop and roastery presentations, workshops, lectures and music programme. The invited guests from abroad will be prepared to share their rich experience during lectures and discussions.

The Kardashian Heist - We want your opinion






The Prague Times' Open Source Unit are developing lines of enquiry for the Kardashian Heist story which we will publish as news and as case studies for researchers and practitioners as the story unfolds. We'd like you to get involved too and we will explain how in a moment.

What's immediately evident is how the internet and social media are suspicious of the story as told and have asked some key questions of it. In fact, the internet and media are asking some very good questions indeed.

You can get involved by finding an internet article or social media post that, in your opinion, asks a key question. The article author's position can be that the story is fake, true, siding or non-committal. Tweet your links and question selection with the #praguetimes and #Kardashian robbery hashtags.
