        CONCURRENT SESSIONS
        9:45 AM - 10:45 AM

        Control State Warehouse Solutions                                       Three Rivers - William Penn Level
        Co-Moderators:        Reed Davis - Luxco
                              Lynn Walding - Diageo
        Speakers:             Ron DeVries - Ruan Transportation
                              Mark F. Dunham - Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control Authority

        While some Control States operate at the retail tier, all operate, manage or oversee the wholesale distribution of spirits in
        their markets. That responsibility, however, has been particularly challenging in recent years as supply chain
        constraints, coupled with unprecedented growth in the spirits industry, have greatly taxed the existing Control State
        infrastructure. Some States have made significant investments in their operations in recent years, while others have
        relied on past expansion and, in some instances, are in dire need of an upgrade. This session will examine the current
        state of Control State warehouses and will make the business case justifying policymakers’ investment in warehouse
        improvements. After all, Control States not only contribute significant funds to the various State general funds, but they
        are also the lynchpin to a vibrant entertainment and hospitality industry within their markets.

        Risky Drinking: Compliance Tools to Intervene                           Lawrence Welk - Mezzanine Level
        Moderator:     Skyler W. Genest - Vermont Department of Liquor and Lottery
        Speakers:      Eileen Delehanty, MPH - University of Minnesota
                       Tom Dixon - Washington State Liquor & Cannabis Board, Enforcement & Education Division
                       Brandon King - Vermont Department of Liquor and Lottery

        Recent reports suggest alcohol impaired fatalities and alcohol-induced ER admissions are on a steep incline while
        emerging beverage alcohol service paradigms continue to expand. In response, alcohol regulatory and enforcement
        agencies are deploying new and refining old techniques to identify locations that may contribute to high-risk drinking
        resulting in increased criminal activity, injury, and death. This session will highlight the renewed relevancy of the Place
        of Last Drink (POLD) enforcement model, demonstrate lessons learned from agencies that were early adopters of the
        model and discuss ways to implement an effective POLD program with leadership support and ways to overcome budget
        constraints and implementation challenges.

        Taking the “Green” Initiative                                    Bob & Dolores Hope - Mezzanine Level
        Moderator:     Lorraine Terry, B.S. - Ohio Division of Liquor Control
        Speakers:      Nicole Milsap, PMP - E & J Gallo Winery
                       Julia Oudeh - Ontario: Liquor Control Board

        Many industry members and control systems are playing lead roles in Private and Public initiatives to improve our
        environment. Examples of such efforts include glass recycling, reducing the carbon footprint, and reforestation efforts.
        Panelists will discuss specific initiatives, partnering with suppliers, local businesses and solid waste/recycling businesses,
        the unique platform control states have to raise awareness of programs, the challenges of developing such programs and
        ultimately the value to our communities, respective organizations, and each of us individuals.
