The Fourth Annual Cannabis LAB (CLAB) Conference & Expo is set for October 28-29 at the Hyatt Centric Brickell Miami. Based on the organization’s three pillars, Grow Healthy, Grow Wealthy, Grow Smarter, the two-day B2B and B2C conference will feature educational seminars and networking surrounding the business of cannabis including investment, legal challenges, patient education, health & wellness and plant medicine from some of the cannabis industry’s most prominent players.
“We have created a hybrid B2B and B2C conference that meaningfully offers an abundance of knowledge and opportunity for business professionals and patients alike,” said Rob Friedman, founder of Cannabis LAB. “As an organization we look to be a platform for those seeking opportunities and those who are providing them. The best thing we can do for our members and partners is to help them make meaningful connections.”
Grow Healthy programing explores plant medicine and plant science offering attendees unique experiences for their minds and bodies, as well as information on best practices, corporate governance and data security. Grow Wealthy programming discusses the investment landscape for entrepreneurs, investors and other ancillary businesses. Grow Smarter, similar to CLAB’s traditional monthly programming, offers educational sessions for audiences with basic knowledge of marijuana law, accounting and business experiences.
