Cannabis Conference 2023 | 15 August 2023 | Paris Las Vegas, 3655 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109, USA

This Conference, the industry’s leading and longest running event exclusively dedicated to plant-touching businesses, returns to Vegas this August and is gearing up for its best year yet—with:
• A NEW day-long Cultivation Roundtable for cultivators,
• NEW Networking Opportunities, and
• NEW Pre-show Workshops for those entering the industry.

It is where you will gain insights that will help you be more impactful to your business and your co-workers, and that will make your business and your cannabis career more successful, and where you will learn from the mistakes others have made that can save your business thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It is where you will learn how to survive market downturns and prepare for emerging stronger when they are over.

It is where you will learn from leaders and innovators in cannabis cultivation, retail and extraction about the technical, the operational and the strategical tools you need to thrive in this ever-challenging, ever-changing industry.

It is where you’ll make connections and build new relationships, as well as find new technologies and solutions that can mean the difference between surviving and thriving.

It is where you will share with and learn from your peers, and contribute to the industry’s overall success as well as your own.
