Cannabis Real Estate Conference 2023 - Southern Califonia Southern Califonia 2023 | Bisnow | 26 October 2023 | TBA, TBA

What You’ll Learn:

• How has the legalization of cannabis in California created investment opportunities? How can those within commercial real estate capitalize?
• How is the government working with cannabis landlords entering the market?
• "Green zones" are areas where cannabis businesses can operate. Because there are often many rules and regulations dictating where cannabis can be grown and sold, approved zones can be limited. How can these and other regulations best be navigated?
• How is the state government ensuring equity for underrepresented communities and how can CRE industry leaders help bridge this gap?
• As time and new policies normalize the cannabis sector, what is the relationship between landlords and tenants like?
• How are cannabis end-users competing in today's competitive market?
• What is the current outlook on cannabis retail and industrial space? How do these developments affect local CRE markets?
• How are dispensaries impacting the surrounding commercial property values? How can dispensaries improve user and customer experience within their spaces?

How You’ll Do More Business: Now that cannabis laws have changed in California, cities and counties throughout the State are allowing commercial and medical cannabis businesses to operate within their boundaries. Landlords, whose properties are located in cannabis eligible zones, have experienced a significant increase in demand for their space from cultivation, manufacturing and retail cannabis tenants and buyers.
