The activation everyone talks about long after the event ends.
Barista Brian is the world's foremost latte artist — recognised by Hollywood, celebrated at global film festivals, and trusted by some of the world's most discerning brands. Now he brings that same exceptional experience to your conference, corporate meeting, or brand activation.
This is not a coffee stand. It is a live performance, a conversation starter, and a shareable moment — all delivered over an expertly crafted cup.
Trusted by global brands and international events including:
-What Is It?-
A live coffee experience unlike anything else on your programme.
Barista Brian creates bespoke latte art portraits — caricatures, company logos, landscapes, pets, and custom designs — poured directly into each guest's cup, in real time, in conversation with them.
The result is a moment of genuine delight. Guests gather, photograph, share, and talk about it for the rest of the event. It is consistently the most engaged-with activation in the room.
With over a decade of experience serving world leaders, Oscar-winning actors, Grammy-winning musicians, Nobel laureates, and C-suite executives across every continent, Brian brings an unmatched level of craft and presence to every engagement.
-What To Expect-
Coffee Caricatures
Brian's signature offering. He engages each guest briefly — learning their face, their role, a detail — and pours a custom portrait directly into the foam. No two are ever alike. Guests consistently describe it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Brand & Logo Pours
Your company logo, conference theme, or event hashtag, rendered in latte art. Exceptional for brand activations, product launches, and conference networking breaks. Works beautifully as a branded photo moment for social sharing.
