Meet Us at Unified!
Come meet NGRA staff and stakeholders at our exhibitor booth (no. 409) at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium again this year! The show will take place January 28-30, 2025, in Sacramento, CA. Exhibits will be open on Day 2 and 3, and our booth will be on the show floor near the main entrance. Stop by and see President Donnell Brown, chat with members of our Board of Directors, and get to know grape researchers who are speaking at or attending the show and learn more about their work. See schedule below…and see us at the show!
