Who is this for?
WIIS is designed for two key audiences:
1. Winery owners, CEOs, general managers and operations leaders who make the strategic and operational decisions that shape the future of their businesses; and
2. Suppliers seeking to understand the innovation pathways that turn new ideas into real-world adoption.
A Summit Built Around Business Impact
WIIS zeroes in on how wineries make decisions, the strategic thinking and operational management choices that determine whether a business thrives. Every session is designed to connect insight with action, helping decision-makers identify what works, what doesn't, and how to get results faster.
For suppliers, WIIS offers a rare opportunity to understand the innovation adoption journey — exploring what it takes to get a great idea out of the lab or the showroom and into consistent use across the industry. Peer learning and shared experience are at the heart of the program.
