When thousands of diverse makers, buyers, brokers, distributors, and other industry professionals come together under one roof, culinary magic happens.

Another of many trade shows has been canceled due to COVID-19. Diversified Communications and Vinexposium, organizers of Vinexpo New York wine and spirits trade event announced its exhibition scheduled for February 3-4, 2021 at the Jacob K. Javits Center has been cancelled, due to the ongoing risks of COVID-19.

The trade-only event will resume in 2022 with the goal of reuniting the industry while providing a more safe, productive, and enjoyable in-person gathering in accordance with state, city, and venue guidelines. “As show organizers of an international trade event which draws thousands of attendees from across North America and exhibitors from all corners of the world, it became evident that a live event of our kind would not be possible in February.” said Beckie Kier, event director of Vinexpo New York. “We are now planning for the 2022 edition, while continuing to support our industry members with resources and tools to help them conduct business during these challenging times.”

Since March show organizers have produced free monthly webinars focusing on the outlook within the community and featuring industry leaders. Most recently the Vinexpo New York team launched a new five-part educational series in partnership with the Wine Business Institute at Sonoma State University.
