Innovation, hemp, investment and inclusion highlight NJCANN programming

Atlantic City, New Jersey – September 5, 2019 – The first annual New Jersey Cannabis Convention is coming to the Atlantic City Convention Center for two days of business and medical education September 14-15, 2019.

“NJCANN is designed for industry leaders, advocates, healthcare professionals, patients and the canna-curious to come together to learn and meet the people paving the way for New Jersey,” said Marc Shepard, co-founder and President of NECANN. “With the cannabis industry heating up in the MidAtlantic, it’s also a timely opportunity for operating and new businesses alike to engage with and learn from consumers, promote their businesses, and promote their products.”

Programming highlights include “Hemp Here and Now: Regulations, Research and Opportunities in the Mid Atlantic” with attorney Jennifer Cabrera of Vicente Sederberg; “Designing a Cannabis Security Plan” with Tony Gallo of Sapphire Risk Consulting; “Industry Insights on Getting Hired in the Cannabiz” with Harman Singh Johar of Chandaria Capital; and “Pet Cannabis 101: Science and Practice” with Christine Harootunian.
