Josh Genderson
Founder and CEO | Holistic Industries

As a private company, this is a great forum for us to get out there, get in front of people, and get in front of the investment community.
Benzinga does a phenomenal job of connecting people with the right people, as opposed to just meeting and meeting and meeting.
I would highly recommend Benzinga to anybody in the cannabis space looking to be connected to capital or just wanting to be out there in the industry.

CMO | Holistic Industries

Looking out into the crowd, I saw fellow and competitive multi-state operators, I saw investors, I saw brands, I saw people who had just great interest in the category. So ensure Benzinga has put together and curated a great crowd of people who are interested, invested, and really engaged with the cannabis industry and are proud to be a part of it.

Founder and CEO | Fyllo

We love this conference. For us, it's a great way to access a lot of our investors as well as showcase what we're doing. At the same time, we get to meet a lot of the brands and investors that we haven't met previously.
I would highly recommend Benzinga for any new company or existing company that's trying to get into the space that wants to have a good 2 or 3 days of getting to reach pretty much everyone who means anything in this industry.
