Michigan’s Commercial Cannabis Conference & Expo 2019, the state’s most prominent B2B expo, is returning to Detroit Oct 11-12 at the newly renamed TCF Center, formerly the Cobo Center. More than 200 organizations will be involved, 50 speakers, a Hemp Room, plus a Showcase to highlight brands and products.
The conference is designed to make connections across business, industry, and government, but also educate citizens. Shifted this year to a Friday and Saturday, the B2B event is free to the public on Saturday afternoon, offering six seminars to showcase and empower.
“We are delighted to offer a community-driven conference with depth, value, and dimension”, said Thomas Tong, the Conference Director.
Although the seminars cover leadership, hemp ,and marijuana, there are three themes to this 2019 event; 1) social justice and equity, 2) safety and quality, and 3) data and technology.
