2025 Eastern Winery Exposition | LTS

License to Steal®
Wine Marketing Conference

The License to Steal Wine Marketing Conference® (LTS) is chaired by Donniella Winchell, Executive Director of the Ohio Wine Producers Association, and is best described as a place where wineries, growers and ancillary entities willingly share ideas for marketing, branding, and cultivating their customers in the grape and wine industry across the nation. Sessions are lively, interactive and led by some of the most exciting marketing minds in the business.

In place of a separate co-located event, LTS will once again present a full Marketing track as part of the EWE Conference. Separate EWE & LTS registration is not required. Anyone with an Eastern Winery Exposition Conference pass will also have access to LTS Marketing sessions.

The LTS program takes place March 26-27.

For LTS program content questions, contact Donnie Winchell at 440-466-4417 or dwinchell@ohiowines.org.
