In the face of imminent change, discover why now is the time to establish a digitally native brand ecosystem that is supported by an optimized supply chain.

To top off this evening of riveting business insight, prepare to embark on a virtual wine tasting with real wines delivered direct to your door. A renowned wine expert will be on hand to talk you through each bottle before putting your palates to the test in some light-hearted competition. But the question is – who will be crowned the ultimate title of ‘Chief Wine Officer’?
