What the Hemp?!?! CBD + Hemp Business Opportunities + Roadblocks

Details

Is 2020 the year for hemp and CBD? It could be for some, but as our panel of CBD and hemp specialists will share at the 3rd annual What the Hemp event, there is still some work to be done with our legislators and among farmers, processors and retailers of hemp and hemp-derived CBD products.

In addition to participating in valuable networking and learning from our panel, attendees will leave empowered with a firm understanding of:

  • What hemp is and the types of products that farmers and processors are creating globally

  • The legal status of hemp and CBD products in Massachusetts

  • How the 2018 Farm Bill affected farmers and CBD product manufacturers in Massachusetts and New England

  • Emerging opportunities for entrepreneurs in hemp and hemp-derived CBD

  • Opportunities for technology and innovation for hemp cultivation and processing

  • How current regulations and testing are limiting farmers and the confusing the industry as a whole

  • And more!
