CannaDataCon exists to advance the role of technology in the cannanbis industry.
This is a hybrid event with in-person and virtual audiences. Register to participate virtually here!
Two concurrent content tracks will run during the conference: Panels and Stories. Panels (Shorebreak Room) run for 50 minutes and feature multiple operators. Stories (Longboard Room) run for 25 minutes and feature one to two speakers delving into an in-depth case study.
