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.

Decades of black market basement cultivations have positioned cannabis grow operations as energy hogs. But as legalization spreads globally, private research & development is flooding in to provide hard data that has in turn produced better technology for the sector. Energy efficiency and sustainability in cultivation is a looming issue—this session will provide a roadmap for sustainability in the marijuana industry.
