MIAMI — Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference, the world’s largest and most successful cannabis investing and finance event, will return to Miami on April 11-12, 2023, at the legendary Fountainbleu Hotel. With registrations up 30% compared to last year, the event is set to bring together over 3,000 industry operators, investors, policymakers, and advocates to conduct business and forge new partnerships.
The event comes at a time when several state markets are maturing and brands are expanding nationally. In response to this growth, Benzinga is introducing a new stage dedicated to brands and retailers to address the future of retail and the increasing crossover between mainstream and cannabis consumer products. Underscoring the convergence of cannabis and mainstream business, Benzinga will welcome Alexa Alianello, Twitter US Sales & Partnerships, Rohan Routroy, Manager, Brand Strategy at Twitter, Jesse Young, Global Lead, New Ventures from Uber Technologies and other top executives to be announced. This will be the first time Twitter will be meeting with cannabis industry executives to discuss the role the social networking giant will play in the budding cannabis industry, being the first platform in the social media landscape to open the door to cannabis advertising.
“We’re thrilled to bring Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference back to Miami and expand our programming to provide even more value for attendees,” said Chief Zinger Jason Raznick. “We recognize that this is a difficult time across not only cannabis but several other business sectors. These times underscore the importance of creating strong relationships.
