DENVER, Oct. 03, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via CannabisNewsWire – One of the premier gatherings of cannabis entrepreneurs and investors in North America, the Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference, is only a few weeks from showtime. Slated to take place in Chicago Oct. 22–23, 2019, the two-day event will create the ideal setting for attendees to learn from the prolific individuals and experts driving the cannabis space forward amid regulation, legalization and industry changes.
The Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference events — held throughout the year in various North American cities — enable investors to come face-to-face with top cannabis companies and hear about their advancements in the rapidly changing cannabis space. The events also feature lightning-round presentations and invaluable one-on-one meetings designed for cannabis executives searching for new opportunities to grow business enterprises.
