A Message from the Editor
Dear Cannabis Industry Professional:
The cannabis industry is on the verge of exploding. The FDA is fast-tracking efforts to regulate the hemp and CBD business. Newly legal markets across the country, like Illinois, are popping up left and right.
We are in a transformational moment in the cannabis industry. One where markets are maturing, the supply chain is solidifying and companies are building multi-state and international brands. Competition is driving producers toward a focus on quality and regulators are increasingly concerned with product safety.
By hosting the Cannabis Quality Conference & Expo (October 1-3 in Schaumburg, Illinois), we want to help the industry develop collectively for good. We aim to help start-ups apply for licenses, we want to help companies better understand quality in manufacturing, we want to help producers reduce their risk of contamination and we want to help educate the world about cannabis business.
Whether it's learning about the latest sample prep methods, branding and marketing, federal and state CBD regulations, food safety hazards or tackling quality and consistency, we want to provide solutions to the questions that keep you up at night. Further, we want to provide inspiration and a fun, memorable experience.
Come, join us in Schaumburg. Let’s grow the cannabis industry together.
Cheers,
Aaron G. Biros,
Conference Organizer – Cannabis Quality Conference & Expo
