WHERE DEALS GET DONE
The Spring edition of Benzinga’s Cannabis Capital Conference in Hollywood, FL, on April 16-17, was a major success, attracting over 2,000 people, including more than 200 investors. Several attendees said our event featured the most targeted content and networking they’ve experienced at a cannabis conference.
But the momentum is just beginning. We’re hosting a series of regional events this year – including one on June 17 in New Jersey – and our annual Fall Cannabis Capital Conference is happening Oct. 8-9 in Chicago.
