You are a wine producer or a wine merchant, WWM 2012 is a great tool helping you to:   develop your existing export sales, start to export your products, prospect international markets at a modest cost, build your export address book, meet buyers with a strong buying potential and with identified needs... WWM 2012 is the opportunity to meet during 3 days major importers from all over the United States, Canada and South American countries thanks to business meetings.

The participants:

• 130 producers and wine merchants (France, Italy, Spain, Portugal).
• 100 buyers (importers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers) from all over the United States, Canada and South America.

WWM is the only convention which takes the time to do a rigorous selection of its international wine buyers:

• pay a registration fee,
• must be accepted by our selection board,
• must be able to provide solid references from current suppliers,
• be in a position of responsibility to make concrete buying decisions and to specify price points, quantities and appellations required.

Depending on which package you have chosen, you will either have a meeting timetable just for your company (individual package), or a meeting timetable where you meet importers at the same time as another company (shared package)*. With the shared package, each company has 20 minutes to present their wines. Your timetables will thus be identical.
*you decide which company you wish to share with.

The meetings take place in the business Suites: you just need to bring your samples. You need to bring enough of them for the convention and the meals.

Example of business meetings schedule:

Your business Suite:

Each producer has his own prestigious Business Suite which allows you complete confidentiality: An independent meeting area fully equipped with: sofa, work table with 4 chairs, kitchenette, refrigerator. A personal area: bedroom, bathroom. The Suites will be your bedrooms as well. A kit including: 12 glasses, 1 spittoon and 1 ice bucket. All meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner), taken together with buyers, are also opportunities to discuss with them in a friendly atmosphere.

Feedback

• All wine & spirits importing States of North America are represented in a single location. Every year I was able to establish a relationship with a new buyer. Thanks to WWM America my presence in exports across the Atlantic has increased sharply.

• This event brings together many buyers who get to the point and have an interest, WWM America allowed me to increase my sales through two new clients.

• "WWM 2010 a été un très bon moyen pour présenter 8 régions viticoles à des acheteurs intéressés et curieux venus de tout le continent américain en un seul lieu avec tous les éléments nécessaires pour mener à bien une dégustation. Le fait d'être logé dans le même hôtel et donc de pouvoir rencontrer les acheteurs plusieurs fois sur 3 jours apporte vraiment beaucoup. De plus le cadre et l'organisation s'y prêtaient très bien ! Bravo !"

• "Appréciation générale très bonne car c'est la première fois que je m'y rendais. Il y a un réel travail de préparation avant pour demander les bons RV et choisir les importateurs qui correspondent à notre besoin et le leur."

• "WWM is a good example of offering a modern, effective platform to connect wine producers with buyers. Wine needs 'ambient' and WWM does a very good job."
