Please join us for the Blank Rome Tenth Annual State of the Cannabis Industry Conference, where industry leaders will share key insights, experience, and practical perspectives on the most pressing issues and opportunities confronting the cannabis industry. Recognized as one of the industry’s leading substantive and networking conferences, this event is a must attend. A decade ago, we launched this conference during a period of real uncertainty for the cannabis industry, and it has since grown into one of the premier national forums for the people shaping this space. This year, industry leaders will focus on the issues that matter most right now, including federal rescheduling, distressed companies and receiverships, capital constraints, M&A, and an increasingly competitive landscape. Join us to make valuable connections, develop strategic partnerships, and gain practical insight grounded in real world deal making, restructuring, and regulatory experience.
