IEM

Promotes Italian wine through international events

Overview

It designs and runs end-to-end programs—walk-around tastings, B2B meetings, study trips to Italy, and educational seminars—using its network of professionals and international press. Its advantage comes from over 20 years focused on Italian wine and a turnkey service that handles concept through final event, supported by a broad global network. The goal is to boost visibility and international distribution of Italian wines by connecting producers with global buyers, media, and wine professionals.

Simplify's Take

What believers are saying

  • The 2026 calendar adds Miami, Chicago, Houston, São Paulo, Mexico City, London, San Francisco, Dallas, and Cancún.
  • I Vini del Piemonte partnered with IEM for October 2025 events in New York, Los Angeles, and Mexico City.
  • IEM's American branch, IEEM, supports the 2026 Americas tour, improving local execution.

What critics are saying

  • IEM depends on in-person trade travel; any venue shock instantly cancels revenue.
  • Italian wineries can shift to local agencies, pressuring fees as wine marketing budgets tighten.
  • One flagship brand, Simply Italian Great Wines, concentrates demand and creates existential platform risk.

What makes IEM unique

  • Since 2026, Simply Italian Great Wines reaches Raleigh, Miami, Houston, Stockholm, and Belgrade.
  • IEM bundles seminars, walk-around tastings, and B2B meetings into one export format.
  • Over twenty years, IEM built a dense network of trade press and wine professionals.
