There has already been strong word-of-mouth buzz about some of the high-profile speakers coming to San Francisco, as well as some of the exhibitors heading to the trade show floor of the South San Francisco Conference Center. There’s palpable excitement around the growth of the bulk wine industry within the U.S.

The speakers appearing at the business conference component of International Bulk Wine and Spirits Show (IBWSS) San Francisco will offer their insights based on in-depth market studies and perspectives gained from successful careers within the industry. The bulk wine market is now an incredibly important part of the overall U.S. wine market, and having a chance to meet and interact with these speakers during the two-day business conference will be invaluable.

Leitman explained how wine drinkers – especially younger millennial wine drinkers – are often influenced by emotion at the point of purchase.

Whether you are looking for insights on how to optimize an already-existing business model, or how to create a new business model and strategy from scratch, the insights provided by these speakers will be invaluable. You’ll learn how to maintain the quality of your bulk supply program, how to deal with regulatory issues when they arise, and how to navigate troubling shipping and logistics issues.

In addition, there will be plenty of opportunities to meet one-on-one with some of the biggest names in the industry. Whether it’s talking with wine experts and thought leaders or asking questions during one of the two informative panel discussions scheduled for the event, you’ll have access to the latest thinking from industry insiders. This is more than just one-size-fits-all thinking: this is a real opportunity to hear well-articulated answers customized for your specific business.

In addition, the trade show component of the IBWSS San Francisco event will give supermarkets, retailers, restaurants, wineries, distilleries, and other buyers a premier international platform to source bulk wine and spirits and meet private label suppliers. For two days, you’ll have a chance to spend time on the trade show floor, meeting one-on-one with both buyers and sellers in the very center of California wine country.]
