The one-on-one connections via the App went brilliantly. Cannot sing the praises of this event enough.

What a damn good time. Hands down the best conference to connect in cannabis!

Jamie Cooper, Sensi Media Group

I’ve been in the industry going on almost 10 years and this was my first Benzinga’s Cannabis Capital Conference and it did not disappoint. Conferences get a lock of flack, but people were here to work and get deals done, not only on the investment side but with vendor partners as well.

Overview

We accomplished a lot with Benzinga in a short amount of time. Benzinga, a privately owned media company based in Michigan, launched a new program in California and hosted its sixth Cannabis Capital Conference in Florida within the 74-day timeframe that we worked together. Benzinga found itself in need of a team that could move fast, adapt, and execute.
