CREATING POWERFUL CONNECTIONS IN CANNABIS
In early December, more than 400 key members of the region’s cannabis industry gathered for an immersive day of learning, informative panels, and meaningful interaction. Derek once again assembled an array of experienced professionals who shared exclusive insights into the latest cannabis tech, market trends, and best practices.
The event included powerful keynotes from industry experts, fireside chats, and panels that covered topics ranging from creating strong strategic partnerships to how to collectively win in an ever-evolving industry. A special update from the executive director of Michigan’s Cannabis Regulatory Agency was a highlight of the day. Attendees also experienced ample opportunities for networking during the 1:1 speed networking session and an afterglow reception.
Thanks to presenting sponsors LeafLink and Dutchie, along with dozens of other supportive sponsors, our 5th Power Connections in the Cannabis Industry event was an outstanding success.
