| With Cannabis Business Times’ Cannabis Conference 2022 months in the rearview mirror and plans for summer 2023 (our 7th conference!) in full swing—our team is in this space of “in between,” where we’re continuing to reflect on the lessons learned from this busy year in cannabis, as well as diligently planning for how we can best serve you, our CBT audience, with dynamic in-person experiences that will resonate, educate and motivate. We’ve got some exciting plans for next year’s event to announce very soon, but in the meantime, here are some quotable moments from Cannabis Conference 2022. “There is no such thing as a good deal with a bad business partner.” – Obie Strickler, Grown Rogue “Regardless of what’s going on in the macro world, there’s always capital available for good businesses and good investments and good opportunities.” – LeVon Terry, Capfluent “Succeeding in the cannabis industry really is … about identifying in yourself what’s holding you back [and] constantly remove friction from [your] day.” – Mitch Baruchowitz, Merida Capital Holdings “Customers notice [employee] turnover. People that utilize cannabis tend to be more sensitive. They want to have that relationship.” – Anna Shreeve, The Bakeréé “We’re coming to a point where university research has really helped the cannabis industry.” – Dr. Bruce Bugbee, Utah State University“It will all migrate toward brand at some point because [people want] consistency.” – Douglas Hannah, Silverleaf Venture PartnersDo any of these connect with you? If you attended Cannabis Conference 2022, what were some of your biggest takeaways or lessons learned? We’d love to hear them. Drop me a line at [email protected]. And in case you missed us in Las Vegas this past summer and want to see more, we’ve created this conference wrap-up for you, as well as a video recap. We hope you’ll join us next summer (Aug. 15-17) at Paris Las Vegas for the industry event that has been called by our attendees “exceptionally educational” and "nothing short of inspiring." Cannabis Conference is where the conversations are personal, and the details of paths to success are candid. With operators up against another big and challenging year in the industry, it’s more important than ever to connect and discover ways to move forward together. - Cassie Tomaselli, Programming Director & Contributing Editor |
