The VVA is pleased to announce that as a benefit of VVA membership, you are eligible for a 10% discount on all conference registration options at the Eastern Winery Exposition taking place March 17-19th at the Oncenter in Syracuse, NY. All conference registration include free trade show admission but the discount doesn’t count for a la carte food functions.
The Eastern Winery Exposition is an Eastern-focused wine industry trade show and conference designed to provide the Eastern U.S. and Canadian wineries and vineyards with an easily accessible, low-cost professional meeting with a large number of winery and vineyard suppliers, at the right time of year. Complete event information as well as registration is available at www.easternwineryexposition.com. With over 200 exhibitors, this 2015 show will be the largest industry trade show to take place in New York and the largest outside the Unified show.
To take advantage of the VVA discount, when registering online, use he discount code when you see the box which is “VVA15”.
For convenient non-vehicular travel to Syracuse, there is a direct flight from IAD Dulles to Syracuse, and for those as far south as Lynchburg up through Alexandria, the Northeast Regional Amtrak runs daily to New York City’s Penn Station, with one change of trains there for the Empire, which runs up the Hudson Valley to Albany then to Syracuse. Another option is flying JetBlue to JFK making one change there to Syracuse. Another option is for people to rent a van and share the driving. The several participating hotels (listed on the EWE website) have shuttles to the airport and Amtrak station.
Be aware that discount rates apply at this time, and the rates will rise again on Feb. 26th. The 10% discount will apply whether used in advance or onsite but by registering now you’ll save more before the rate increase.
