Highlights from the Visitor Center Summit
On February 24, 2025, the Visitor Center Summit was held at the Mellwood Arts Center in Louisville, Kentucky. This event brought together our visitor centers for an exciting opportunity to receive the latest updates on Heaven Hill Distillery, brand team developments, HR news, partner insights, and a sneak peek at upcoming opportunities. We’d like to extend a special thank you to Pauline Ottaviano for organizing such a memorable summit, which made the day even more extraordinary as it coincided with her 30th birthday! The event truly highlighted the strength of our industry, our team and the collaboration and dedication that drives our success.
“I look forward to attending the Visitor’s Center Summit every year. It is fun to interact with our other Visitors Center’s, Brand Management, Distillery employees, and with Kate Latts. I always learn something new, it recharges my batteries, and truly allows us to work together as a team.” – Kevin Jump, EWBE Lead Bourbon Educator
