“So much valuable information will be shared during this year’s event,” said Women of the Vine & Spirits Founder and President, Deborah Brenner. “With regard to streaming, we wanted to allow viewers to interact live with presenters via question-and-answer, while also enabling them to revisit presentations, update notes, or review practices covered during the sessions. With live and on-demand streaming, we are so pleased we can do both.”
