Get Ready For Unified Symposium

Unified Wine and Grape Symposium LogoA series of full-day meetings, with dozens of industry volunteers, has yielded a strong program for the 2015 Unified Wine & Grape Symposium, held each January at the Sacramento (CA) Convention Center.

Register for these sessions on Oct. 28 when registration and housing officially opens. Some of the closest hotels, such as the Hyatt Regency, have been known to sell out that first morning of availability.

The content focus is on emerging issues, trends and breakthroughs in grape growing, winemaking, marketing and business. Leaders and pioneers from around the globe are being recruited as expert panelists.

The opening Tuesday (Jan. 27) luncheon with a keynote speaker, first introduced last year, is being repeated in 2015. More information on the speaker and luncheon will be forthcoming on the website.

On Wednesday, the “landmark” 2015 State of the Industry general session promises to provide valuable information and business insights for the wine and grape industry for the coming year.
