One word that’s on the tip of the industry’s tongue

As we start head into the second month of 2021, the word consolidation appears to be on the tip of the cannabis industry’s tongue.

Our first Cannabis Forward education and networking event happened last week. In case you missed it, you can watch all the speakers, presenters and demos from ‘Level Up Your Online Presence’ right here.

Coming up this Wednesday, our inaugural Business of Cannabis Retail Series presented by Vetrina Group. We’ll dive deep into the design and build of cannabis retail interiors. Register today.

Until next Monday, have a great week.
