Some testimonials from attendees
"This would be so good for so many people - I hope more people take up the opportunity" |
"Loved it and wanted more" |
"Our business is quite diverse, so I was worried it would be all wine focused. I have got so much out of the days, it has helped me clarify both myself and my business." "I have taken the Risk and Strategies session back to implement in our Business." |
"One of the presenters said “Even if you don’t want to clean the house, you need to know how it is done ". That rings true for me. I don't want to know it all or be able to do it all but it is good to understand how it happens." "That was the best presentation on Ag Tech I've ever had" |
"The session that covered Contracts was helpful, I do a lot of these in my work. All the sessions have had bits that have helped me understand all aspects of Wine businesses."
