Bâtonnage Forum takes its name from the French term meaning "lees stirring". True to the origin of its name, the 2019 forum provided a platform for those “who have traditionally been overlooked or spoken over” in the beverage industry to stir things up.
Y’all, the conversation was raw, heated and operative. The one day event’s agenda included three panel discussions, lunch and a post event wrap up happy hour. What I valued most about this conference was the panelists' commitment to taking off the masque. The panel topics (listed below) were fresh and allowed for candid dialogue.
Panel 1 - Departing Dysfunction
Panel 2 - Pathways to Inclusion: But How, Really? Panel 3 - Do You Sell Sex?
Grateful for the opportunity to attend this sold out forum in Napa, CA and be a part of the conversation about us ladies in various facets of the wine industry!
