NY Cannabis Insider (NYCI) hosts unique business-to-business events across the state that bring together business owners and industry leaders to network and discuss topics essential to the New York State cannabis industry. The next industry insight meetup and networking event is scheduled for May 14 in Buffalo and will be held at Riff City. Details and tickets available here.

The evening will feature a special discussion with panelists who represent the biggest components of the adult-use ecosystem throughout the state and will discuss current issues facing processors, dispensaries, and laboratories, among other topics. This “State of the State” will dive into what’s working, what’s not, what needs to happen next, and what those looking to get into the industry should consider before making the leap.
