ShipCompliant’s DIRECT Conference, now in its 10th year, attracts marketing and hospitality professionals, compliance managers, winery owners, wine marketers, and trade media to one of the most in depth and comprehensive annual explorations of the direct-to-consumer wine market. The two-day conference features speakers from a wide variety of fields as well as numerous seminars and workshops that provide attendees with actionable information and tools to better market wine in the fast growing direct-to-consumer sales channel.
“We are excited to introduce DIRECT attendees to David Rendell because he comes with an inspiring message that applies not merely to work, but to life in general—plus, he is very funny,” said ShipCompliant CEO Jason Eckenroth. “Add to this the chance to hear the great Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey speak on how to connect with customers and Chip Conley explain how to delivery world-class hospitality experiences and you have a very exciting conference.”
Additionally, attendees will hear the annual “State of the Industry” address by Wine Institute Vice President Steve Gross, who always brings the hundreds of attendees the very latest developments in the world of direct-to-consumer wine sales and what to expect in the future. Meanwhile, the meat of the DIRECT conference is its twelve seminars and workshops presented over two days, including:
