The 7th Annual CWCBExpo New York, the leading East Coast event focused on the business of cannabis and hemp, takes place May 28-30 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center at a pivotal time in cannabis reform and market growth for a region that includes the large markets of New Jersey and Connecticut.
"Cannabis Capital Crossroads" a candid conversation between Tim Seymour, CNBC "Fast Money" Trader and Founder of Seymour Asset Management, and Sumit Mehta, Founder and CEO of Cannabis Investment Firm MAZAKALI, will take place on Thursday, May 28th. Tim and Sumit will share their unique fundamental, financial and futuristic viewpoints on an industry at the cusp of global renaissance.

Tim Seymour is the Founder and Chief Investment Officer of Seymour Asset Management (SAM), providing both asset management and wealth management services for its clients. Seymour is a recognized voice within the investment community as a trader and market strategist on CNBC, including over a decade on the top markets show, Fast Money.
"Like any new asset class progression, 'Phase 2' of cannabis investing will demand more attention to the bottom up rather than the top down," says Tim Seymour.
With a history of investing in new and emerging asset classes, Tim has been an early stage investor in the cannabis industry and currently acts as Senior Consultant to JW Asset Management Growth Cannabis Fund, and is Portfolio Manager for the Amplify Seymour Cannabis ETF.
Sumit Mehta is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of MAZAKALI, a turn-key platform for raising and investing cannabis capital. MAZAKALI offers capital advisory, investment banking, asset management, strategic consulting and board advisory services enhanced by a technology-enabled investment portal.
"It is likely that the cannabis complex will prove to be the best performing asset class over the next decade, and also likely that over time no industry will remain untouched by this plant." says Sumit Mehta.
Prior to joining the cannabis industry, Sumit spent two decades in portfolio management, investment planning, capital introduction, strategic consulting and relationship management at Merrill Lynch, UBS Investment Bank, Raymond James Financial and JP Morgan.
