SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH TECHNOLOGY

The 2009 Conference and Exhibition will focus on why sustainability is critical for success in the winery and why technology is the key to sustainability. Key speakers will address these issues, and workshops will provide opportunities to share and improve knowledge for the whole winery team.

The variety of presentations and workshops will provide many choices for your interests, and the technical research paper section will provide information on the latest R & D.
