Celebrating Wins and Building Leaders: Reflecting on 787 Coffee’s End-of-Year Summit 2024
Let’s Connect!
As a leader, I’ve come to realize that celebrating wins is not just a nice-to-have; it’s a necessity. Wins remind us of why we do what we do, energize our teams, and set the tone for what’s next. That’s why 787 Coffee’s End-of-Year Summit 2024—Feel the Energy—was so much more than an event. It was a reflection of our strength as a company and a showcase of how we are stronger together.

The Summit: A Platform for Growth and Connection
At its core, the summit is about bringing our team together to reflect on what we’ve achieved, what we’ve learned, and where we’re headed. It’s a chance to recognize the dedication of every team member who contributes to making 787 Coffee the vibrant, dynamic company it is today.
This year, the energy was electric as leaders and top performers from across our global footprint came together to share stories, insights, and plans for 2025. From our farm in Puerto Rico to coffee shops in New York, Texas, and beyond, the common thread was clear: we’re united in a shared mission to elevate coffee, celebrate community, and prioritize sustainability.
Leading by Example: Producing a World-Class Experience
What made this summit even more special for me as the founder of Brandon Media is that we had the opportunity to produce, design, and deliver the event. Working with a client as close to my heart as 787 Coffee allowed us to create an experience that was as inspiring as it was impactful. We didn’t just plan the event—we lived it.
From designing the space to the seamless flow of sessions, every detail was crafted to reflect the values and vision of 787 Coffee and to the theme - Feel the Energy. As a media company, we understand that events like these are not just logistical exercises but moments of connection, storytelling, and transformation. We saw the pride and excitement on every team member’s face, and that’s a reward in itself. - To all the beautiful humans that helped brandON media put this event together, THANK YOU, it is by far the best, biggest and most magical EOY summit that 787 coffee has held.
Celebrating the Team: The Heart of 787 Coffee
One of the most profound takeaways from this event was the undeniable dedication of the team. 787 Coffee is more than a company; it’s a family. Watching leaders step up to share their journeys, seeing baristas connect with the vision, and feeling the energy of collaboration was a powerful reminder of why we do what we do.
We heard from incredible speakers, celebrated wins big and small, and laid out a clear path for sustainable growth in 2025. From improving the quality of coffee through consistency to minimizing our environmental footprint, the goals we set as a team are not just ambitious but deeply meaningful.
Strength Through Leadership
As a leader, events like these remind me that success isn’t just about metrics or milestones. It’s about the caffeinated humans around the brand. It’s about inspiring others to believe in a vision and empowering them to make it a reality. The End-of-Year Summit is a reflection of the shared commitment to greatness and the belief that we are stronger together.
To every leader out there, I encourage you to celebrate your wins. Celebrate your team. Take the time to reflect, recharge, and refocus. It’s not just about where you’ve been—it’s about where you’re going.
