WASHINGTON —
Congressman Earl Blumenauer, Founder and Co-Chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, will discuss cannabis banking at the PBC 2023 Conference in Washington D.C., September 21-22, 2023.
As quoted in his office’s press release, Congressman Blumenauer states “It is past time that Congress addresses the irrational, unfair, and unsafe prohibition of basic banking services to state-legal cannabis businesses. The House has passed the SAFE Banking Act on a bipartisan basis seven times. I am delighted that the Senate is joining us in making it a priority.”
PBC Conference CEO, Joshua Radbod adds, “Last year at PBC 2022 our keynote speaker Senator Merkley announced his Senate version of the SAFE Banking Act, SAFE Banking Plus, and this year we are excited to hear about the House’s new version from Congressman Blumenauer, one of the key advocates of cannabis banking in the House.”
PBC’s annual conference is known for bringing government and industry leaders together. Previous government participation includes IRS Commissioners, Senators, Congresswomen, State Cannabis Regulators, Banking Regulators, and other federal and state regulators and legislators. Now in its fourth season, PBC 2023 will once again draw a crowd of 600+ executives and influential thought leaders to Washington, DC for two days of networking and discussing the challenges of payments, banking, and compliance in the cannabis industry.
All-access passes are now available for PBC 2023, being held in Washington, D.C. this September 21-22, 2023. (REGISTER)
