BOSTON, Sept. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Burns & Levinson will host its seventh annual "State of the Cannabis Industry" conference, which will focus on cutting-edge issues in the multibillion-dollar cannabis industry, on October 16, 2023, from 8:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. ET. The conference will be held at the Westin Waltham Boston. A live stream option will also be available.
The conference will feature a wide range of national experts and industry leaders including an in-depth conversation with Joe Campanelli, Chairman, President and CEO of Needham Bank, one of the country's most active lenders in the cannabis industry, and Jason Wild, Executive Chairman of TerrAscend, a pioneer in the cannabis industry. Other highlights include sessions on navigating restructurings, workouts and distressed M&A; accessing capital markets in a down market; and brand/branding strategies. A CEO roundtable will explore what keeps cannabis executives up at night and will feature Terry Fitch, CEO of Good Day Farm; Laurie Holcomb, CEO of Gold Flora; Jon Levine, President and CEO of MariMed Inc.; Ed Schmults, CEO of StateHouse Holdings Inc.; and Darren Weiss, President of Verano.
"The cannabis industry is at a critical juncture. The current realities of market saturation, lack of capital, over leveraging, growing expenditures, and onerous taxation are going to continue to create challenges for cannabis operators and investors. However, relief through safe banking or rescheduling would create some relief, but would it be enough. This year, our industry experts will be sharing ideas and solutions related to these many economic stressors, as well as looking at the myriad opportunities that exist in this new market," said Frank A. Segall, Founder and Chair of the Cannabis Business & Law Advisory Group at Burns & Levinson.
