The first day is dedicated to mapping out how best to grow and seize the demand opportunity for Australian wine. Day two focuses on improving the profitability and sustainability of grape and wine supply. On both days, the morning plenary sessions will see international and local thought leaders share the latest information about key market challenges, consumer trends, the demand-supply balance and how Australian wine businesses can position themselves to take full advantage of our competitive edge. Their presentations will be tested by expert panels and questions from the floor so it promises to be an important opportunity for dialogue that goes beyond the here and now.
