2018 April Chamber Luncheon

SOLD OUT!!  "The Business of Cannabis"

Canada's cannabis industry is young, entrepreneurial, rapidly evolving, and brimming with potential.

Since 2013, Canada has established a sophisticated commercial system for the production and distribution of medicinal cannabis.
 
The market has surged over the years, creating an entrepreneurial industry.  Now that recreational cannabis use is firmly entrenched on the horizon of July 1, 2018, it's time to wrap our heads around how to profit from the change; how to get our regulations right; and how the emerging industry will affect and improve business right here at home.

While having exceptional long-term growth prospects, this burgeoning market is still in its infancy and experiencing constant change.  Waiting for it to "settle down" isn't really an option for entrepreneurs.
