The Fall brings a celebration - ten years of wine2wine Business Forum, the international business forum gathering Italian wine professionals to brainstorm and develop. This landmark edition will celebrate the importance of community, particularly through the success of the Italian Wine Ambassador Program.
VERONA, Italy, June 12, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The arrival of wine2wine's 10th edition is a big one. It celebrates 10 years of business idea generation for Italian wine professionals, cultivating strategies that strengthen wine businesses on the international stage. With 10 years of success to celebrate, the wine2wine team is highlighting the Italian Wine Ambassador Program's major success, and how it has supported the success of D2C wine marketing strategies.
Launched in 2014, the Vinitaly International Academy (VIA) features a network of certified Italian Wine Ambassadors, dedicated to educating and promoting Italian wine globally. The network continues to grow each year, with 340 and counting after the recent 2023 Verona Edition. With ambassadors from various industries and corners of the globe (46 countries in total) their talent, experience, and expertise will be at the core of the 2023 wine2wine forum through fascinating D2C marketing panels on where the Italian wine world is heading next.
What might this edition defined by Italian Wine Ambassadors look like? Looking at IWA Barbara Fitzgerald, we get a clear picture. She is an Italian American from a longstanding California winemaking family with a deep passion for promoting Italian wines. She is a direct-to-consumer (D2C) marketing expert, possessing a unique perspective from her professional experiences between California and Italy. Today, she is dedicated to actively strengthening Italian wine businesses.
"There is such an opportunity for direct-to-consumer business in Italy," says Fitzgerald. "We should be creating an authentic path for consumers to connect to us on a deeper level. We have to start thinking about how we as a brand can have a positive impact on all of these things, and convey that to people."
Fitzgerald is a primary example of the knowledge and passion that will drive this upcoming 10th annual wine2wine. With perspectives and knowledge like Fitzgerald's, we can only imagine the exciting events regarding D2C marketing panels (and more) to come during wine2wine Business Forum's landmark edition. To learn more about Barbara Fitzgerald, you can find her recent interview on the Italian Wine Podcast on Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud, and wherever else you get your pods.
