Business of Cannabis returns to New York to deliver insights from leading voices across cannabis, investment, policy, technology and retail .

This November 3, we will once again welcome industry leaders, key politicians and cannabis innovators to the heart of the big apple - to identify trends, challenges and share ideas on the future development of the cannabis industry, through a lens focused also on its most exciting new market: New York.

With the time for licenses to be issued on the horizon, whilst the financial opportunities may be evident, what perhaps still isnt clear are the finer details - and emerging issues - of New Yorks imminent adult-use cannabis market, and how long the necessary infrastructure will take to develop.

Join over 400 of the North American cannabis industry’s most influential stakeholders, to discuss the future of New York’s adult-use cannabis market - and the potential impact for the wider region. Agenda topics include The $200m social equity fund, licensing, New Yorks position as the new capital of cannabis plus panels on policy, investment and culture.

Business of Cannabis: New York, 2021

The highly successful, sold-out Business of Cannabis: New York summit was the first major cannabis conference in the City since the Marijuana Regulation & Taxation Act (MRTA) was passed in March 2021.

In September 2021, 300 of the most influential leaders in politics, business, law, and finance met at the iconic Rainbow Room at Rockefeller Center, to determine the direction of the legal cannabis industry .

Over 30 influential speakers such as State Senator Liz Krueger, Tahir Johnson (Director of Social Equity and Inclusion, US Cannabis Council), Will Feuer (Business Reporter, New York Post), and Pablo Zuanic (MD, Cantor Fitzgerald) met to discuss the implementation of the state’s legal adult-use cannabis industry, alongside exploring the promise of New York as the USA’s largest emerging market.
