Virtual Spain 2020

Enoforum Web, the first technical and scientific conference for the wine sector held totally online, with 30 speakers in internet connection from Spain, Italy, France, USA, Australia, Argentina, Chile and South Africa – was concluded on May 7, 2020.

Enoforum is a congress format created twenty years ago by the Italian company Vinidea, which has shown progressive growth in its Italian, Portuguese and Spanish editions, to become the largest technical-scientific congress on wine in Europe.

At the last Italian edition, held in Vicenza in May 2019, over 1200 technicians from the sector attended 120 presentations on the results recently obtained by 40 viticultural and oenological research groups worldwide.

The Spanish edition of Enoforum 2020 was due to take place in Zaragoza on the 7-8th of May, however, the COVID emergency forced the cancellation of the on-site conference. Nonetheless, thanks to the experience in webinar management gained by the Vinidea team over the past years, we successfully managed the immediate transfer of all of the original content to an online format which allowed the conference to proceed uninterrupted in spite of the pandemic. The only losses were the live exhibition experience and the ability to sample wines and food.
