The upcoming NY Cannabis Insider Live industry half-day conference, presented by New York Medical Cannabis Industry Association, will be held in Syracuse on Friday, Sept. 23, from 1:00 – 6:00 p.m. at The Rail Line. Attendees have access to panel conversations and speakers, complimentary professional headshots, and ample networking time to connect with other cannabis industry professionals. Space is limited and tickets are expected to sell out.
Panelists will share their perspectives on the following topics and there will be time for audience Q&A:
· Must-haves: Hiring, banking, insurance and security: Experts will discuss the key ingredients to planning a successful cannabis business: Hiring for a culture of compliance, navigating banking and insurance in an industry that can’t easily access those services, and planning for security beyond just cameras and alarms.
· Understanding upstream: Cultivators, processors and labs: This session will focus on the beginning of the supply chain: How do you start a grow, processing or lab operation? What does this “upstream” landscape look like today, what are the biggest problems affecting these operations, and how does that bode for the future of NY’s cannabis marketplace?
· Where’s the help? Free to low-cost resources for cannabis entrepreneurs: Starting a new business can be an expensive undertaking, but there are tons of people and organizations you can approach for free- to low-cost help – if you can just find them. Panelists will talk about these opportunities in NY and give expert advice on keeping your startup costs as low as possible.
