We have a created a hybrid B2B and B2C environment so whether you are a CEO, start up, ancillary business professional, legacy market, canna curious there will be something worthwhile. Before the day even starts and after it ends we will have a number of extracurricular activities as well including health and wellness that have you covered mind and body.

This year we have also added tracks for those that know what they want to know: Legal, Marketing, Investment and Starting a Canna Business. As always, our educational journey will be led by the industry’s best and brightest. Throw in an interactive expo hall open to the public, classes for consumers, happy hours, after parties, several surprises throughout Miami and you have an international cannabis conference to put on your calendar every year.
