We had a overwhelmingly positive response to WBC18 held in Walla Walla, WA in October and we thought we would share some of the highlights of what our participants had to say:
“Excellent conference, well-paced and lots of good information.”
“The sessions were interesting, the excursions were fabulous, and the WBC was well organized! Also, the Walla Walla wine community went out of their way to be generous, genuine, and share their wines/region/foods.”
“Walla Walla is a great host city. The sessions and the people were wonderful.”
On Networking and Excursions
Many of our participants come for the conference sessions and panels but that is not all the conference has to offer. The extracurricular activities are just as important as the educational sessions to our attendees:
“This is such a great event. The highlight for me is the networking opportunity. I learn from every conversation, interaction I have with other bloggers and industry insider.”
“I enjoyed the pre- and post-conference events. They added value to my overall experience.”
“The education sessions, excursions & live blogging experiences were excellent opportunities to network and learn more about the wines of Walla Walla/TriCities and wine blogging.”
Still on the fence on whether to attend the Wine Media Conference? Check out what some first-timers had to say:
“This was my first conference, and I was impressed with the organization, and the variety of activities!”
“Very well-organized conference (my first) – structure, variety, flow, location were all great! Balance of education about the area, broader wine topics, and blogging-related topics was excellent. Interesting mix of attendees.”
“First experience. Excellent communication, and well executed conference. Impressive local winery representatives, especially during Harvest.”
“It was my first time and I loved it! Content was great, networking was great. I’m so grateful for the experience – I made so many new friends and learned a LOT!”
Thanks again to all the attendees and sponsors who joined us in Walla Walla – we couldn’t have done it without you!
