IBWSS 2023 is almost here and we are looking forward to seeing you all in person in San Francisco on July 25-26. The IBWSS USA theme will be “Diving Deeper in Bulk Wine, Bulk Spirits and Private Label”. Its time to book your expo floor and conference tickets. The conference will be around 4 main pillars.

1) Private Label: a dedicated part of the show to allow producers and buyers looking for specific private label contracts to come together and discuss their needs.

2) Industry Progress: a chance to look at the bulk and branded markets in more detail and to set up face-to-face meetings between producers and buyers to look at how they can work better together.

3) Bulk: what are the specific trends and issues that are dictating the bulk wine market, with a particular focus on global harvests and the impact on international pricing? This will be an opportunity for buyers to secure fruit and contracts for the harvests ahead as well for wine available now.

4) Supply Chain: a key part of the show will be to shine the spotlight on the global supply chain and asses how quickly it is recovering, the reasons for its collapse, and the knock-on impact it is having on the bulk wine market. Exhibitors will include key shipping partners and logistics players who will be able to give their first-hand experience about what is happening around the world.

We have got the best speakers to empower you on bulk, private label, and contract business, meet them, learn from them and network with them.
