Join the WCA and a panel of experts at our December Webinar on Tuesday 10th December, 12.30 ACST, to discuss how a wine business or region can communicate to trade and consumers about an adverse weather event e.g. the recent frost events, fire (smoke) and hail. We will hear from a cross section of industry, public relations and industry bodies, with the aim of not focusing on the negatives but the opportunities to learn how to deal with this circumstance should it unfortunately ever arise again. We will also look at current and future sustainability reporting requirements, and how/when it will impact small and medium sized businesses. This will be a panel discussion with the opportunity to ask questions. The panel will consist of: - Kerry Parkin, Founder and CEO of Sway, a global corporate communications business located in London. (Kerry used to be based in Australia and was the Global Corporate Communications Manager of Pernod Ricard Winemakers) - Nicki Robins, Viticultural Development Manager, Barossa Australia - Ali Lockwood, CEO and Co-Founder, How Sustainability What: Webinar: Communications Strategy for Adverse Weather Events When: 12.30 ACST - Tuesday 10th December Where: Zoom Cost: as always, our webinars are FREE to WCA Members and cost $50 (+ GST) for Non-Members. Register: https://lnkd.in/gSXAd4vZ #winewebinar #wcawebinarseries

This should be a really interesting session on how to approach communications following an adverse weather event....

The Young Executives Organization (YEO) Conference is back and better than ever under a new name, CStore Momentum. Hosted by Yesway, CStore Momentum 2024 will take place at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas, from Sept. 18 – 20. Each year, this conference serves as a resource for young executives looking to learn about the industry through engaging information sessions, interactive workshops and networking events. This year, young executive attendees will get the chance to learn about a multitude of burning issues, spend time with industry peers and hear from distinguished c-store professionals. “As we designed the program content for our 2024 event, it was imperative that we deliver in three primary areas: No. 1: What does operational excellence look like for our event host, Yesway? No. 2: How do we expand actionable learning in key areas like loyalty, foodservice and private label? No. 3. How do we ensure attendees grow as leaders within our industry? I’m happy to say that our retailer content committee put their heads together, and I’d say they really delivered,” said Allison Dean, executive director, NAG Convenience.

Exciting Announcement! Please join us in welcoming Helen S. Medina as our inaugural Chief Executive Officer of the World Spirits Alliance (WSA). With over 15 years of experience in global public policy processes, Helen brings a wealth of expertise to lead our organization toward its purpose, vision, mission, and strategic priorities.   As a multicultural professional with a dynamic background, Helen's leadership will be instrumental in advancing the WSA's work of uniting spirits producers worldwide, advocating for industry interests, and promoting best practices to address societal and environmental challenges.   With over two decades of successful informal cooperation under its belt, the spirits producers and producer organizations from around the globe officially established the World Spirits Alliance (WSA) in 2019. The membership includes 11 leading spirits companies and 16 associations of spirits producers from around the world. It offers a common platform for industry representatives to share insights, work together on global issues to advance industry interests, and promote best practices to tackle societal and environmental challenges.   Rooted in history and tradition, spirits are treasured products and distinguishing sources of cultural pride, enriching societies and economies. From the rice fields of China to the vineyards of France to the barley fields in Scotland and the sugar cane plantations in the Caribbean, each crop contributes to spirits production, sustaining livelihoods along the way.   Did you know that the spirits industry is the most valuable alcoholic beverage? In 2022, the industry had $470 billion of retail sales value. And, as a sector, it supported 36M jobs in the same year. This is akin to the UK's entire workforce! This underscores its immense impact on global economies.   Under Helen's leadership, we are entering a new era of collaboration, advocacy, and sustainability. Together with our members and stakeholders, we are in creating a world where every spirits moment is enjoyed responsibly and sustainably.   #WorldSpiritsAlliance #Sustainability #Spirits #ExcitingTimes #NewCEO #Cheers 🍸 🥃 🌿
