Nevada has less than two years of recreational marijuana under its belt, but it’s already seen as a major epicenter for industry activity. At the recent Cannabis Conference, presented by Cannabis Business Times, thousands of cannabis leaders and entrepreneurs converged at the Westgate Casino and Resort to conduct deal flow, learn about the latest industry developments, and of course – network (this is Vegas after all).
For three days, attendees gained valuable resources in order to advance their businesses, proving yet again this industry is here to stay. The only conference in North America dedicated to cannabis cultivators and retailers, this event attracts the top talent from across the country and beyond.
“It reinvigorates us to see these people with a glimmer in their eye say, ‘Man, you can help me do what I’ve always wanted to do’ – creating that opportunity,” remarked Jake Chilcoat, Executive Vice President of CBD Plus USA, an exhibitor at the event. Chicloat mentioned his team was using the Cannabis Conference expo to promote their franchise model, and amount of interest has been both overwhelming and inspirational.
“It always goes back to that opportunity for growth and to reach your goals as an individual – whatever you do.”
Beyond the busy expo floor were several engaging speakers and panels specifically curated to help listeners achieve their short and long term goals, whether it be starting a new cannabis business or helping a mature one thrive. Topics ranged from improving nutrient processes to securing investment capital. On hand were some of the leading experts and executives in the space who offered their in-depth knowledge to packed rooms spanning four unique tracks.
John Cochran, COO of Harvest Health & Recreation and former CEO of Pabst Brewing Co., delivered the Cannabis Conference 2019 Welcome Keynote, “Tapping the Beverage Market Boom,” to a packed room. Cannabis infused beverages are expected to be a huge category in the market, with several major alcohol companies already making investments.
The main conference keynote, “Wayfinding: Re-Envisioning Cannabis Consumer Relationships for a Post-Prohibition Era,” was delivered by Jeremy Plumb, director of production science for Pruf Cultivar. Plumb is considered one of the top names in cannabis and offered insights into the latest news in production mixes and which emerging demographics need to be targeted.
This year’s event will be the last at Westgate. The 4th Annual Cannabis Conference, coming in April 2020, will move to the luxe Paris resort in Bally’s. Organizers are looking forward to an even bigger expo floor and expanded offerings as the industry continues to thrive.
