CannExpo (Toronto, March 24–26)
Canada’s largest cannabis consumer show will bring together consumers, budtenders, retail store owners, industry newcomers and the “canna-curious,” while hosting a mega-exhibition by industry leaders, including OCS, Mera Cannabis, White Rabbit Naturals, Slowride Bakery, Peak Pharm Labs and many more. CannExpo attendees will have access to the freshest products and services, while getting a close-up view of the latest technological innovation in the space.
The three-day conference will include presentations from industry leaders on wide-ranging issues affecting the cannabis sector.
CannExpo will also host the “So You Think You Can Cook Cannabis Competition” to crown the best infused baker, mixologist or chef, and be judged by illustrious personalities such as Vance Michel (Aka Chef Vito Blaze); Nadia Rehman, The Ganja Mama; and Chef Jordan Wagman.
The event would also showcase the much-anticipated “Cannabis Community & Influencer Awards,” and a special gathering arranged by Tether, a community that activates budtenders and cannabis retailers.
MarigoldLIVE: International Women’s Day (Virtual, March 8)
Following the success of earlier editions, Marigold invites everyone to attend the 4th annual Women’s Day networking event. This world-class event is primed to accelerate deeply meaningful business connections among the dynamic demographic of women founders and industry executives in the psychedelic and cannabis industries.
Marigold has created thought-leadership opportunities for over 350 women and has attracted thousands of event attendees since 2016.
Attendees will relish insightful sessions with inspirational speakers, including “Spotlight on Mental Health in the Ukraine,” with Dr. Olga Chernoloz; and “Thought leadership for Women Panel,” featuring Haley Nagasaki, Annaleise Kiebler, Sherry Boodram and Dr. Amanda Reiman.
Attendees will split into speed-networking breakout rooms, to build rapport with industry peers, support invaluable knowledge exchange and explore fresh avenues for collaboration.
B-Week 2023 (Virtual, March 20-26)
Marigold’s B-Week is a special platform dedicated to those who make it all finally happen: the budtenders.
Unfortunately, despite so many fine actors immersed within this thrilling sector, budtenders are often overshadowed and do not receive their due. B-Week is changing that!
As the face of the sector and dealing directly with consumers, budtenders are essential in connecting the right products to each consumer and are a crucial source of sales, feedback and education for the entire supply chain. B-Week 2023 invites this passionate group to build a whole new Canada-wide community platform through virtual and safe events.
