Benzinga, a leading financial media outlet, is announcing the final lineup for the
third iteration of the Cannabis Capital Conference in Toronto, April 17-18.
Day one of the event brings top cannabis executives, multistate operators, leading investors,
pioneers in the pharmaceutical space and more in front of attendees.
Exclusive keynote speakers include Kush Supply Co. Chief Revenue Officer Jason Vegotsky on
day one and Organigram CEO Greg Engel on day two. Intimate fireside chats will cover topics
surrounding the developments of multi-state operators, cannabis industry software,
pharmaceuticals and expansive branding.
Richard Carleton of the Canadian Securities Exchange, Alfred Avanessy of Cormark, Brent
Johnson of Hoban Law and Drake Sutton-Shearer of PROHBTD will discuss ways in which the
industry has pivoted from Canada to the U.S. and beyond, including penetration into Latin
America.
To discuss these budding opportunities in Latin America, Kyle Detwiler of CleverLeaves, Chuck
Smith of Dixie Brands and Maruf Raza of MNP will share their deep knowledge and experience
in the foreign space, while providing smart overseas insights for cannabis companies and
investors alike.
At a time of market volatility, Benzinga has again wrangled the top players in the cannabis world
for the investing panel in Toronto. CNBC’s Tim Seymour will moderate a conversation among
executives like Tahira Rehmatullah of Hypur Ventures, Jon Trauben of Altitude Investment
Management, Narbe Alexandrian of Canopy Rivers Inc. and Matt Hawkins of Cresco Capital.
On the U.S. side of cannabis, four of the most successful cannabis executives — Julius
Kalcevich of iAnthus, Kim Rivers of Trulieve, Vahan Ajamian of MedMen and Mitch Kahn of
Grassroots Cannabis — will join CNBC’s Jon Najarian to provide an overview of operating as a
multistate operator.
In a fast-growing industry, building a unique brand is imperative. To finish the day, “King of
Instagram” and Ignite Founder Dan Bilzerian will talk with Jon Najarian about how he built his
company and his brand. Check out the full agenda here.
