Recap: #CannabisCon Edmonton

April 18, 2018 By In News No Comments

We had a great time last weekend at Cannabis Canada Forums – Business Opportunity Day and #CannabisCon in Edmonton. The conference featured engaging discussions on a wide range of relevant topics and included government officials, industry leaders, and academics.

Canadian Cannabis Chamber president, Lindsay Blackett, moderated several panel discussions over the weekend. Topics of the panels included “Economic Development and Business Opportunities,” “Entering the Cannabis Industry,” and “Cannabis in the Workplace – Employee Perspective.”

We were especially thrilled to meet with so many attendees ranging from entrepreneurs to industry service providers to enthusiastic job seekers. The excitement for the forthcoming legalization of cannabis is palpable and is fuelling great new ideas and innovation. We strongly believe that legalization will bring fantastic opportunities to Alberta and the rest of Canada, and this was apparent from the discussions that took place at #CannabisCon.

Thanks to Cannabis Canada Forums for putting on a great event, and thanks to everyone who came out to participate!
