NY Cannabis Insider is hosting an industry summit at the Sonesta in White Plains, N.Y. on November 16 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Details and tickets available here.
The conference will host industry professionals (both new and old) for a day of learning, venting and problem-solving. The content will feature both introductory and advanced “courses” on relevant topics such as banking, accounting, applying for a license, the medical program, and more, taught by professionals within the NY cannabis industry. There will also be full-panel discussions focused on the hottest topics for canna-entrepreneurs as of November 2023.
Lightning-round business consultations will be available for attendees, in addition to networking opportunities, lunch, a happy hour and more. A general admission ticket provides attendees with all-access to sessions, speakers, meals, and resources onsite.
“This was one of the most informative events I have attended,” said May 2023 conference attendee Jillian Dragutsky, CEO of Astro Management and co-chair of NY CAURD Coalition Women’s Committee. “There was a wonderful mix of industry stakeholders willing to share their experiences and knowledge and I look forward to the next NY Cannabis Insider event.”
