This year’s conference featured an impressive array of speakers on marketing, enology and viticulture. Additionally, we saw an expanded vendor presence, a record-high attendance at the wine reception on Thursday and a fantastic five-course banquet dinner paired with our award-winning wines.

Next year’s conference dates are Thursday, February 19 – 21st, 2009 at The Hilton Hotel in downtown Springfield. A block of rooms are reserved at a rate of $95 plus tax. Call the hotel to reserve your room at (800) 445-8667. The Group Code is GVV, which you should use when registering. The Hilton Hotel is located at 700 East Adams Street. A parking garage is located just behind the hotel.

If your business is interested in having a booth at the 2009 conference tradeshow, please contact Megan Pressnall at (217) 782-6515 or mpressnall@extension.uiuc.edu.
