Annual Conference

Virtual Wine Conference Information: 

It’s here! SWE is pleased to announce the agenda for our 2024 Virtual Conference—an online event scheduled for Friday, April 26 and Saturday, April 27 (2024). We have two full days of conference programming for you—with one day (Friday) dedicated to wine and one day (Saturday) dedicated to spirits. These events are based around live, interactive webinars created by our highest-rated and most accomplished conference presenters. These sessions are offered free-of-charge to all members of SWE.
