Event Description
The Wine Entrepreneur Conference is the first professional wine conference focusing on wine entrepreneurship. It is intended to four categories of individuals:
- Wine enthusiasts who want to act on their dream to start their own wine business
- Wine professionals who want to further their career in the wine industry by broadening the scope of their knowledge
- Wine entrepreneurs looking to fund the next stage of their business and meet potential investors, partners, employees or advisors
- Wine business angels and investors who want to be exposed to new ideas, concepts and projects relating to the wine industry.
Our conference has two thrusts:
The first day will focus on all the steps of the wine business value chain, from wineries, to importers, distributors, wine bars, wine stores, wine journalism, wine and charity, etc…
The second day will be spent investigating the main trends and opportunities in our industry: impact of technology, franchising models, packaging innovation, funding challenges, social media.
On both days, our panels will feature innovative wine entrepreneurs who were able to follow their passion for wine AND to leverage tools such as the internet & social media, alternative financing techniques, innovative design, socially conscious philosophies, a recycling cap, out-of-the-box business models or a combination thereof.
