An immersive day of cannabis-tech programming!

Cannabis Innovation Summit is the capstone of Cannabis Innovation Lab, an immersive program for those in cannabis-tech.
This event brings together 250+ startups, investors, corporate partners, industry experts already in the space and those who are “canna-curious.”
