The 14th Australian Wine Industry Technical Conference will be held 24 - 29 July 2010 at the Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre. WineTech - the Australian Wine Industry Trade Exhibition will be held at the same venue 25 - 28 July 2010. See www.awitc.com.au
Posters form an important and integral role in any Technical Conference. Not only is it an opportunity for researchers to report on 'late breaking' work but it is a great opportunity for them to interact directly with their audience. There is also an essential role for the poster sessions to act as a forum for students to present their work.
In order to foster and promote the poster sessions, the ASVO Committee has agreed to sponsor four poster prizes at the 13th Australian Wine Industry Technical Conference for $1,000 each. These prizes are:
- Australian Society of Viticulture and Oenology Best Research Poster - Viticulture
- Australian Society of Viticulture and Oenology Best Research Poster - Oenology
- Australian Society of Viticulture and Oenology Best Student Poster - Viticulture
- Australian Society of Viticulture and Oenology Best Student Poster - Oenology
