Case: Roast Fest 2025: Helsinki Coffee Week’s main event in Kattilahalli



Helsinki Coffee Week’s main event, Roast Fest 2025, was held in Kattilahalli at Suvilahti. DC Events was responsible for the comprehensive technical production of the event, covering both the main stage and the exhibition area. The technical planning and execution formed a cohesive whole, enabling a smooth program flow and an enjoyable event experience for performers, exhibitors, and visitors alike.



Roast Fest

Comprehensive technical setup for the main stage


The event’s main stage featured talks and panel discussions during the daytime and live music and an awards gala in the evening. The technical setup was designed to support a diverse program: a line array sound system ensured even audio coverage throughout the hall, LED screens and presentation management supported the performances, and moving lights completed the gala’s striking visual look.



Exhibition technology with power distribution and ambient lighting


The exhibitors’ stands required more robust power distribution than usual, as nearly all of them used coffee machines and other high-power equipment. DC Events implemented the electrical infrastructure for the exhibition area as well as general and ambient lighting, adapted to the venue’s structures and highlighting the industrial architecture of Kattilahalli.
