Great Wine Capitals Global Network International Conference

The Great Wine Capitals Global (GWC) Network International Conference is being held in Christchurch New Zealand from 31 October to 4 November, 2010.

We expect approximately 250 delegates. Some of whom will be GWC Network members, while others will be interested parties within the wine and wine tourism industry. We are seeking to partner with organisations to create an exhibition area to help make an even more exciting and worthwhile event for all participants. We are pleased to be able to offer you two distinct opportunities to exhibit at the Conference.

The first is at the Wine Research and International Business Symposia. This two day event is being held at Lincoln University on Wednesday 3 and Thursday 4 November, 2010. This exhibition will provide companies or institutions which support the growing and making of wine to showcase their technologies, products and service offerings to local wine growers and makers, and to local and international wine and wine-technology media and investors.  This exhibition would suit vineyard and winery machinery suppliers, raw material suppliers, component manufacturers, process technology companies and service providers to the wine industry.

The second is at the International Wine Tasting Evening, being held in the Limes Room, Christchurch Town Hall on Wednesday 3 November, 2010. This exhibition is the only conference session that is open to the general public as well as conference delegates. Accordingly this exhibition would suit retailers in the wine and wine tourism sector wishing to showcase their products/services to the consumer end of the market.

Objectives for the exhibition

The Conference will enable exhibiting organisations to reach a range of participants.  Morning/Afternoon tea and lunch are all held in the exhibition area, which will bring the exhibitions to the delegates’ attention.

Goals for Exhibition

• Create an opportunity for sales
• Exposure to existing customers and new prospects
• Highlight the strong partnership between your company and International Wine Tourism Network
• Get face to face time with professionals to learn more about their business needs
• Educate delegates about your company’s products, services and/or solutions
