To succeed in real estate, the old adage is location, location, location. But to succeed in business, it's information, information, information. And that's just what the 2009 Unified Symposium offers. Whether it's on the exhibit hall floor or taking in the general or breakout sessions, there's an abundance of information.

"At a time when we finally have a balance in supply and demand, the uncertainties of the economy and the possible effect on wine sales make this a very important time for everyone in the wine industry to be armed with as much information as possible," says John Crossland, a winegrape grower and chairman of the CAWG board. "The program committee has worked very hard to put together a program that is more relevant to our times than ever, and just the information presented during the three general sessions alone is definitely worth the cost of admission."
