N.J.’s cannabis business leaders to network at this virtual conference as legal market opens

As an impending deadline for action on cannabis legislation barrels toward a Feb. 18 deadline, those in New Jersey’s cannabis space will have an opportunity to be a part of the state’s largest business conference and networking event soon afterward.

That legislation and the actions businesses and communities take will shape the one of the most important economic and social justice components of the Garden State for the foreseeable future.

On March 9-10, NJ Cannabis Insider will host a virtual event over two consecutive mornings of strategic networking sessions built around speakers and panel discussions focused on what the new industry will bring to the Garden State, and how to succeed in it.

Space is limited and tickets won’t last. Early-bird discounted tickets are currently on sale until Feb. 15, when the price of admission increases from $80 to $110; click here for details.
