Marijuana Business Daily will host the national Spring Marijuana Business Conference & Expo in Chicago May 19-21, 2015.
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 14, 2015 -- Marijuana Business Daily will host the national Spring Marijuana Business Conference & Expo at the Hilton Chicago from May 19-21, 2015.
The legalization of marijuana is gaining momentum nationwide. According to newly released data, the industry is expected to create $10B+ in economic impact this year, and $30B+ by 2019; America’s oldest and largest Cannabis Trade Show has added a second annual expo to meet demand.
“We use the term ‘Marijuana Years’ because in the Cannabis industry, a year feels more like half a decade,” comments George Jage, President of Marijuana Business Daily and organizer of the conference. “In the six months since our last national conference more than 1,000 cannabusinesses have launched or significantly expanded; industry revenues have gone up by nearly $100 million; and private equity interest and investments have rocketed.”
With more than 160 exhibitors and an expected 2,000 Cannabusiness professionals expected to attend, the show is by far the largest in the industry and marks the 5th year for Marijuana Business Daily leading the helm.
Highlights of the Spring Expo include a keynote from ‘Freakonomics’ author Steven Levitt and 25 new and exclusive sessions such as Marijuana Business Crash Course, Investors Networking Breakfast, Insights on Banking, Battling the Black Market, Trends in Edibles and Concentrates and Marijuana Business Daily’s 5th Year Kickoff Celebration.
Past attendee, Patricia Noonan of Mary Jane Farms, says, “Thanks to this conference our funding outlook is very bright. We were impressed with the conference planning, the ability to network with others either already in the industry or entering and find potential investors for our company.”
