Cannabis Brands and Investments

Mar 14, 2019

2:00pm – 3:00pm CT

Please be aware that cannabis and related laws vary. Programming in this track is designed to inform attendees about this fast-changing industry, and does not promote the use or sale of illegal drugs.

Cannabis brands are in the early-stages of being built, no one’s created a national brand just yet given it’s illegal status under federal law. Our session will explore a variety of brands – MedMen, Aster Farms, Heavy Hitters/Mammoth, and Old Pal across product, distribution, and retail to explore how brands are being built. What’s the best way to get started and how much capital is needed? What’s the outlook for brands in the space? How can investors help build brands in the space?
