The annual FITA
Trade Show & Conference has long been a traditional gathering within our industry
-- a chance for us to meet
one another for the first time; catch up with old friends; learn
about new products and techniques; discuss marketing and promotional
ideas, and generally help steer the future of our business.
If you own a home beer or wine making store, a u-brew or a u-vint,
or if you manufacture or distribute products that are related to
or of interest to our industry, then this conference is a "MUST"
for you. The low cost to exhibit means that anyone with a product to
sell (from the giant wine kit manufacturers right down to the guy
with an idea for a gadget), can get their products in front of those
who matter: the retailers. If you are a store owner or operator,
then you should take advantage of this unique, once-a-year opportunity,
to keep your business up to date with the latest products and happenings
Every participant also recieves a goodie bag with valuable items provided by our conference sposors: Breiss Malt, Crosby & Baker, EZ Cap, MacDay Label Systems, Munton's, WIneMaker and Brew Your Own Magazine, Winemakeri, Winexpert, and The Vintage Shop
Exhibits: Wander the exhibit
room at your leisure to see what the manufacturers
and distributors have to offer. A highlight
of the show for many retailers and u-brew operators. Be the first to have the latest!
Seminars & Business
Meeting: Educational and informative seminars are held to help
you improve your business management, improve
your profitability and hone your technical skills. These seminars
are often conducted by people like you, from within our industry,
so you can be sure they are pertinent and on-target.
Another highlight will be the excitement of the
City of Portland. Don't leave your camera at home!!
Add to all of the above the opportunity
to mingle with other successful members of our business, not
to mention the odd glass or two of
wine and beer, and you have all the ingredients to make a truly
memorable, exciting, profitable, and tax-deductible occasion.
