On Oct. 12, the state’s premier B2B cannabis business conference and networking event will return to the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Newark Airport — just as the state opens to receive applications for new category licenses.

The day-long conference produced by NJ Cannabis Insider Live will offer informational “CannaTalks” and panels, featuring industry leaders, regulators and educators, as well as intense speed-networking sessions for to connect with the right people to help your business grow and thrive.

Doors open at 9 a.m. with the keynote speaker opening the all-day event at 10 a.m. The conference ends at 5 p.m. Tickets ($295) are on sale now for the conference. A select number (10%) of discounted tickets also are available for social equity applicants.

NJCI’s fall conference bookends a year of standout networking events, an awards show and its sold-out March conference, which featured more than 40 vendors and some 30 speakers.

Topics covered will revolve around the current state of New Jersey’s marketplace, focusing on the new category licenses, which will offer more business opportunities for aspiring cannabis companies entering the space. They are:

  • Wholesale: to store, buy and/or sell bulk cannabis and cannabis products.
  • Distribution: to transport bulk cannabis and cannabis products.
  • Delivery: to transport retail purchased cannabis and cannabis products to consumers

Other key areas of discussion include:

  • Application strategies
  • Municipal approval
  • Real estate, site control
  • Construction, buildouts
  • Site operation procedures (SOPs)

We’ll also delve into funding and raising capital, compliance and best practices as well as how your business can stand out in a competitive and expanding market.

As with March, NJ Cannabis Insider will also bring back its Discovery Areas for Women-owned Businesses, Social Equity Businesses and Education & The Future Workforce.
