“The Emerald Conference is one of the premier cannabis science conferences around and its absence last year left a knowledge void,” said Ini Afia, Chief Science Officer, CannaSafe. “Advances in cannabis science is the key to legitimizing cannabis and so therefore it is of utmost importance that the greatest minds in cannabis have a place to gather and that fosters the knowledge transfer that occurs each year.”
In addition to the two-day conference, there will be opportunities to connect with the entire scientific community in the exhibit hall showcasing the latest innovations and the popular poster presentations. The Emerald Conference is the leading forum for networking and discussions on discovery science, as well as how science and data support best practices in cultivation, production, and quality assurance.
“The Emerald Conference has been a driving force in cannabis science and innovation for many years, and we’re excited to get everyone back together in person to continue moving this vital part of the industry forward,” said Chris Walsh, CEO of MJBiz. “We’ve been working closely with our scientific committee to shape this year’s conference and ensure we are featuring the latest research and top trends, issues and opportunities. There’s been a lot of progress on the scientific front that is filtering into the business side, and the intersection of these is where the industry’s future lies.”
