American investors were excited about cannabis market leader Tilray’s NASDAQ IPO, and rightfully so. It was the first cannabis company to go public on NASDAQ and marked a significant moment in an emerging sector with relatively few public companies.
However, some first-movers in the cannabis industry have been trading on public exchanges for some time already. The Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference in Toronto on August 17th offers a chance for investors to get face time with CEOs at many publicly traded companies. Five of these companies whose CEOs and executives you can meet at the upcoming conference are introduced below.
In addition to meeting key people from public cannabis companies, you can talk to the Cannabiz Media team in the networking area during the conference. As a conference sponsor, Cannabiz Media will be offering demos of the Cannabiz Media License Database during the event – including all of the new features – and answering questions to help you learn how the Database can support your organization’s goals.
