The largest winery and vineyard conference east of the Rockies begins this week on Wednesday, March 9 in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania. The Wineries Unlimited 2010 Conference is being held at the Valley Forge Convention Center outside of Philadelphia. Wineries Unlimited is a combination trade show and conference and lasts four days.

This is the largest conference of its kind east of the Rockies. Numerous companies and exhibitors will have displays on Wednesday and Thursday. Seminars are presented throughout the four days of the conference.

Winery and supplier workers who are unemployed can attend one day of the Trade Show with a complimentary pass when they present a “pink slip” from a known company.

Winery and Vineyard Management Magazine has produced the Wineries Unlimited Conference since 1976. According to the press release from Richard Leahy, “Wineries Unlimited offers grape growers and vintners the opportunity to fulfill their annual operational needs by inspecting new products and meeting supplier representatives.”

Seminars will include viticulture, enology and marketing. The conference includes silent and live auctions.

Anyone who is involved in the wine industry in any aspect should consider attending one or four days of this year’s Wineries Unlimited Conference.
