Wine & Spirits Daily Summit 2013 - Austin

We are excited to announce that we are having our inaugural Wine & Spirits Industry Summit this year in Austin, Texas at the Four Seasons Hotel. With so much happening in the industry, we feel it is a good time to host an alternative conference focusing on growth drivers in spirits and wine. We are featuring top executives from several top distillers and wineries, as well as craft distillers, retailers, and wholesalers. Our speakers include:

  • Jay Wright (coo of Constellation)
  • Mark Teasdale (ceo of Proximo)
  • Chris Indelicato (ceo of DFV Wines)
  • Bill Newlands (president of Beam Inc. North America)
  • Tito Beveridge (founder of Tito's Handmade Vodka)
  • A craft spirits panel with Thomas Mooney (ceo and co-owner of House Spirits Distillery), Dan Garrison (proprietor of Garrison Brothers Distillery), and Ralph Erenzo (partner at Tuthilltown Spirits Distillery).

The event begins with a cocktail reception Sunday evening on August 18. An all day general session begins Monday morning (August 19), complete with breakfast, a seated luncheon and a cocktail reception in the evening. If you've ever been to one of our events, you know that we mix actionable, valuable content with fun.
