The virtual expo and networking opportunities will available on all three days of the event.

Cannabis Conference Virtual will offer nearly the entire educational program planned for its original in-person event scheduled earlier this year, as well as new sessions and speakers.

“We are so pleased that we are still able to bring the high-quality education we’re known for, now in a virtual format,” said Noelle Skodzinski, editorial director. “Our speaker lineup includes company executives and leaders, university researchers, industry consultants and others at the top of their field who are eager to share their expert insights.”

“While the coronavirus pandemic has hindered our ability to meet in person, it’s incredibly important for us — especially as members of an essential industry — to continue to offer innovative educational and networking solutions for our audiences and partners,” said group publisher Jim Gilbride. “We’ve produced convenient, compelling virtual conferences long before the pandemic necessitated this format, and we are looking forward to using that experience to provide the best in cannabis education from our exceptional lineup of speakers.”

Now in its fourth year, Cannabis Conference 2020 will bring together more than 50 of the industry’s leading voices to educate attendees about the biggest opportunities and challenges facing plant-touching businesses in the legal cannabis market.

Cannabis Conference 2020 will expand on the successes of previous events’ cultivation and dispensary education and will include for the first time a track dedicated to the cultivation and sale of hemp and hemp-derived products. The conference features in-depth educational programming on cannabis cultivation and business operations, as well as the most informed industry perspectives on retail management and customer engagement.
