This year’s event was in San Diego, California.   Over 1500 participants gathered for various workshops,information and tasting sessions, distillery tours, and a whole lot of networking! Cemcorp’s presence was new to some of the attendees but many old connections were renewed. It was a fantastic week of meeting many distillers and vendors in the industry. The founder of ADI, Bill Owens met up with Steve during one of the workshops and was interested in hearing about the changes at Cemcorp. Steve and Dina had the pleasure of connecting with Arun Sinha, the OPTO 22 area manager for Ontario. Opto22 is used in Cemcorp’s PCbrew® and PCflow® control systems. A fellow Canadian, Joanne Gaudreau, the VP Marketing of Cirka Distilleries was in attendance and told Dina about her newly operating distillery in Montreal. The ADI eNewsletter has given a shout out to Cemcorp Ltd. so check it out and the other great resources they have. Cemcorp Ltd. sends a big thank you to ADI and is looking forward to next year’s conference! http://distilling.com/
