The 1st CANNEducate virtual conference addresses the impact of cannabis on the event industry. Cannabis is one of the most powerful emerging consumer driven markets the event community has witnessed since the prohibition of the 1920’s. Despite its growth, the cannabis industry does not yet focus on collaborative tools for event professionals. Our mission is to unite both entities to help navigate barriers and create innovative experiences for various types of events.
This event is free to event professionals although we gladly accept donations to help with costs associated with production. All donations received will go towards hosting expenses.
