​
2024 Conference Award Applications are now closed.
​
​
Women in Wine - Oregon is focused on creating an equitable experience and being inclusive of those who may not otherwise have the ability to purchase a ticket at the general admission price. We understand that attending conferences can be out of reach for some and aim to be mindful of financial privilege.
This year we are offering four in-person awards to the annual conference, thanks the generosity of our sponsors Partake and Schmidt Family Vineyards. Off-site lodging will also be offered, courtesy of Björnson Vineyard. Scholarship awardees will also receive one year of Women in Wine membership.
We believe the best and most equitable way to solve this problem is to ensure there is space for everyone at the event. So, we're excited to share a special opportunity to expand your network, and grow as a professional by lessening the financial barrier to attend this event.
Applications open May 1 and close on May 24, 2024
Please e-mail events@womeninwineoregon.com with any questions.
