Institute of Masters of Wine Australian Symposium 2022 cancelled May 14th, 2021 The Institute of Masters of Wine (IMW) and Wine Australia have regretfully decided that the 10th International Symposium cannot be held in Australia in 2022. IMW Executive Director Adrian Garforth MW said the ongoing uncertainty around international travel made it too difficult to plan the event confidently. Therefore, the difficult decision has been made to defer the event. ‘We will look at the possibility of holding an alternative event elsewhere in 2023, but we need to consider our options carefully in light of the ongoing pandemic’, Mr Garforth said. Wine Australia Chief Executive Officer Andreas Clark said that it was disappointing that the event, announced at the close of the 2018 Symposium, had to be deferred, but Wine Australia understood the challenges.
