Nature and Scope of the Conference

 

Wine and agro products businesses, increasingly focus on management and marketing means and practices, as these highlight products' value as well as  build competitive advantages and increase efficiency and effectiveness across the industry, both vertically and horizontally.

 

Recent years, in fact, have witnessed a growth of wine and agro food management concepts and models that are based on multi-dimensional segmentation, and which ultimately aim at strengthening the experiential elements of the product.

 

Wine and agro product businesses have further found value in collaborating with other industries, and especially in the alliance with the tourism and hospitality sector; an alliance that rests upon the mutual foundations of culture, heritage, tradition and local identity.

 

Consequent to all the above, the number and range of stakeholders in the wine and agro food sector has increased, as have the complexity and demands of its generated values. The future calls for a wine and agro food sector with a strong business acumen, well designed production and logistical systems, comprehensive and creative marketing and branding tactics, and strategic alliances across multiple organisations, industries and regions. The synergies involved benefit all stakeholders as they improve rural tourism and economies, and fortify heritage, tradition and identity.

 

This conference provides the opportunity to academics, researchers and practitioners alike to interact, share knowledge and know-how and increase synergies concerning the contemporary trends and developments of the wine and agro food industry.
