WINEFUTURE-RIOJA ´09 is totally sold out!
The Wine Academy has closed the registrations for the event since they have filled the capacity of the Auditorium at Riojaforum. According to Rony Bacque, General Manager: "we have achieved all our targets and exceeded all our expectations, and we are still 2 weeks away from the event".
The conference has attracted 700 participants from over 40 nationalities. Out of those 700 registrations only 530 will be able to take part in the Grand Tasting that Robert Parker Jr. will conduct on November the 12th from 06.00 PM onwards. The rest of the delegates have registered only for the conference. However, the organizers are arranging plasma screens in a hall next to the conference area from where they will be able to follow the tasting.
The media coverage will also be important because close to 100 journalists have been accredited, representing more than 60 different magazines, radios, webs, blogs and TV.
The Trade Show area is also fully booked, with 102 tasting tables that represent more than 160 wineries from almost 40 wine producing regions.
The organizers had made arrangements with 12 hotels of the region which are also fully booked with delegates, journalists and speakers that will travel specially to Rioja to attend and cover the conference.
