SAN FRANCISCO –
Lift Events and Experiences, known for Canada’s #1 cannabis conferences and tradeshows, will debut its first U.S. event, Lift San Francisco, from Wednesday, August 2 to Friday, August 4, 2023, at the Moscone Convention Center.
Lift San Francisco will include the Lift Cannabis Business Conference, as well as two expo days showcasing hundreds of exhibitors from across the full cannabis ecosystem. Lift is dedicated to honoring the grassroots legacy of the cannabis industry, while creating an unforgettable experience for individual audiences across the cannabis industry and community including growers, licensed producers, retailers, investors, health practitioners, regulators, budtenders, consumers and more.
Drawing upon the expertise of a North American Advisory Board representing a who’s-who in the U.S. cannabis industry, Lift’s first stateside event will provide the tools and information necessary to navigate the California market – and beyond – in the year to come. “The team producing Lift has taken the time to ensure that the needs of the cannabis industry throughout the country are addressed,” says Advisory Board Member, Chris Day, CEO of Gateway Proven Strategies. “From the depth of market research, to the attention to inclusion, to the acknowledgment of legacy providers, theirs is a thoughtful and forward-thinking approach to serving this community.”
In addition, Lift’s signature attractions and activations will be represented throughout an expo floor buzzing with hundreds of exhibitors from all parts of the industry. The San Francisco event will also offer unmatched new product discovery, with live product on the show floor to see, touch and smell. Plus, networking opportunities will abound throughout indoor and outdoor lounge areas, as well as the Lift Official After Party, to make those all-important connections.
“We are so excited to bring Lift to San Francisco and the United States,” says Lift Events & Experiences Portfolio Lead, Lindsay Roberts. “We are intensely focused on serving the needs of all those helping to build this industry while navigating the complex, ever-changing landscape of legal cannabis across the nation. Lift San Francisco will be a must-attend event for the cannabis industry and community.”
