The 6^th Annual CWCBExpo (Cannabis World Congress & Business Exposition), May 29-June 1, 2019, concluded its largest event to date with record attendance of business, retail, healthcare and financial professionals from the tri-state area, across the country and around the world.

With a strong foothold in New York, CWCBExpo is the largest B2B event on the East Coast for the legalized cannabis and hemp industries.  Attendees came for several days of non-stop education, business-building and networking.  The CWCBExpo NY conference program had more than 40 sessions providing unmatched learning experiences and mind-share with leading experts, influencers and market leaders.

Popular sessions included Key Trends Shaping the Global Cannabis Market; Cannabis Funds and Venture Capital; What to Look for When Buying CBD;  Breaking Boundaries Without Permission: Women Making Business and Social Impact; The “Legalization” of Cannabis & Future Business Opportunities in NY and NJ; Warrior Wellness: The Transition Epidemic Facing Veterans; and for the first time a Cannabis and Hemp Academia Town Hall.

“The CWCBExpo was amazing. I had the opportunity to connect with other university professors to talk about our programs and collaborations, but the best thing was connecting with the students and young entrepreneurs in the audience – they continue to give me a lot of hope for growth in this industry!” said Carlyn S. Buckler, PhD, School of Integrative Plant Science, Cornell University.
