Event Wrap Ups

The Seventh Annual NoCo Hemp Expo took place in Denver, making it one of the first in-person cannabis industry events to take place in Colorado since the pandemic began. Attendees were under strict safety protocols, including mask mandates and social distancing. The two-day event featured a long list of influential speakers, including Dan Herer of the Jack Herer Foundation, Glen Kayll from the Hemp Plastic Company, Nancy Whiteman of Wana Wellness, and our very own Editor-in-Chief Charles Warner.

Spring brings growth, new beginnings, and hope for the future. We celebrated those concepts during this spring’s virtual cannabis conference. As we transitioned from pandemic life into a relative return to normal, we reflected on how far we’ve come and how our industry will persevere in a less restricted future. Our online conference featured a variety of panels and informative speakers to fit the themes of sustainability and cultivation. Our star-studded event, featuring the likes of Montel Williams, Wanda James, Dr. Chanda Macias, and more, helped to create a dialogue on how we can do our part to create a cleaner future.

After being postponed six times due to COVID-19, the biggest CBD and hemp conference in the nation took place in Atlanta, GA from June 11-13, with dates in Columbia and Illinois lined up shortly after. Atlanta is an expansive hub for some of the most creative and innovative minds in cannabis, which makes it the perfect destination for this event. “We really feel like this is the CBD industry event you’ve got to attend. You want to see what your competitors are doing. You want to see what the most innovative products are. We have our award ceremony. There are just so many different things happening,” said Nicole Beiner, Director of Marketing for the USA CBD Expo.
