"As the cannabis industry evolves, Women Grow remains steadfast in its commitment to empowering women to lead in this transformative sector.

Audrey Johnson, Executive Director, Maryland Office of Social Equity, will speak on Monday, Feb. 17. "Maryland's cannabis initiatives are fundamentally reshaping access and opportunity in the industry. The Women Grow Leadership Summit aligns perfectly with our mission to continue our progress and learn from other leaders who share our commitment," Johnson said.
With the state's program supporting 205 conditional licensees, Maryland is driving economic growth and setting a national example for cannabis licensing. Governor Wes Moore will receive on behalf of The Maryland Office of Social Equity and Women Grow, the 2025 Social Impact Award for advancing innovation in the cannabis sector.
The Career Development Track is a cornerstone of the summit. This track aims to empower attendees to explore and advance their careers in the rapidly expanding cannabis industry. Sessions include panels such as "Careers in Cannabis," which explores workforce demands and emerging opportunities across sectors. Discussions will navigate the complexities of cannabis law, taxation, and compliance challenges, equipping attendees with actionable insights for career advancement.
The Business of Cannabis Track will take center stage, equipping entrepreneurs and professionals with the tools needed to succeed in this competitive and regulated market. Attendees can gain critical insights from presentations such as a SWOT analysis of U.S. and global cannabis markets, featuring prominent analysts. Workshops on funding opportunities, licensing strategies, and marketing best practices will provide attendees with a comprehensive roadmap to build, scale, and market their cannabis ventures effectively. The track also explores innovative approaches to branding and public relations in an industry often constrained by advertising restrictions.
The Cannabis en Español Track celebrates the vital contributions of the Latino community to the cannabis industry while addressing unique challenges. Sessions will highlight the economic and cultural impact of Latino entrepreneurs and the opportunities for small farmers in hemp agriculture.
