NY Cannabis Insider is hosting an industry summit at Pearl Street Grill & Brewery in Buffalo, N.Y. on September 21 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Details and tickets available here.

The conference will host industry professionals for a day of learning, venting and problem-solving. The focus will be on the “state of the industry” from several key stakeholder perspectives, such as cultivators, processors, retailers, politicians, attorneys, and medical operators.

The conference will also host open discussion roundtables throughout the day in a secondary room focused on retail operations, current regulations and lawsuit implications, the medical program, best practices for startups and other topics. 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.”
