4th Annual Cannabis and Hemp Symposium (Both Days)
Febuary 2020
Cannabis is big business in Colorado and across the nation. In 2018, medical and retail marijuana sales exceeded 1.5 billion dollars in our state. Attend the 4th Annual Cannabis and Hemp Symposium so that you can best serve your cannabis clients.
The state of cannabis law changes frequently. On Day 1, the program will provide a case law update, an update on 2019 legislation, and MED implementation and rulemaking. You will dive deeper into common issues faced by cannabis businesses and hear from leading voices in regulation and enforcement.
Don’s miss these featured presentations!
Cannabis, Equity, and Social Justice in Colorado
Presented by Ashley Kilroy, Esq., Executive Director, Denver Department of Excise and Licenses
The Federal Enforcement Landscape and Perspective

And make sure you attend Day 2! You often hear about hemp, but do you have a working understanding of cannabis chemistry and the differences between hemp, CBD, and other derivatives? We will also explore the revolutionary 2018 Farm Bill and more issues, including testing, banking, taxes, shipping, processing and bringing legal products to market. This program will help you understand the problems facing hemp businesses and their attorneys.
