This year’s keynote speaker will be Jeff O’Neill of O’Neill Vintners & Distillers, who will give a candid talk about the many challenges and opportunities facing the wine industry today, including consolidation, consumer trend shifts, increased competition and more.

The Unified Symposium was built by the joint input of growers, vintners and allied industry members to serve as a clearinghouse of information important to wine and grape industry professionals. The Unified Symposium is in its 26th year and co-hosted by ASEV and the California Association for Winegrape Growers.
