Lift & Co. Corp. ("Lift & Co." or the "Company") (TSXV:
LIFT) (OTCQB: LFCOF) today revealed its speaker lineup for the
highly anticipated Lift & Co. Cannabis Business Conference
(“LCBC”), to be held on Thursday, June 6 at the Metro Toronto
Convention Centre.
As the first Lift & Co. Cannabis Business
Conference in Toronto since Canada legalized adult-use
cannabis—and taking place just months before the proposed date of
legalization for edibles, concentrates and topicals—topics will
address the past year and future outlook of the cannabis industry.
These include international opportunities, new product regulations,
and research in both the adult-use and medical sectors.
Panels include:
- Forecasting Canada: The Canadian Consumer Story Told
Through Sales and Behavioural Data, a co-presentation by
cannabis data leaders Lift & Co. and Headset;
- Medical Cannabis: Where Canada Fits into Cutting-Edge
Research, dissecting the most significant research
happening in Canada today; and
- Retail Rollout: Trends in Cannabis Retail
Stores, a look at cross-sector integration as new product
trends become available.
The 2019 LCBC keynote will be a Fireside Chat between
Mark Zekulin, President & Co-CEO of Canopy Growth Corporation
and the Financial Post’s Vanmala Subramaniam. During this
exclusive on-stage interview, Zekulin and Subramaniam will discuss
themes that have permeated the entire day, and cover topics
impacting Canada’s largest licensed producers including Canopy
Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGC).
“This business conference is the main stage for cannabis thought
leadership in Canada," said Matei Olaru, Chief Executive Officer,
Lift & Co. “Executives, investors and entrepreneurs will walk
out of LCBC with actionable insights they can apply to their
businesses come Monday morning, including new consumer data,
information on edibles legislation and the latest medical
research.”
“It’s an honour to Chair an event of this scale that showcases
Canada’s cannabis business talent, and our global perspective,”
said Deborah Rosati, LCBC Chair and Lift & Co. Board Member. “I
look forward to connecting with the industry next week for a full
day of learning as the sector’s pre-eminent leaders share their
insights and expertise on both current and emerging trends in
cannabis.”
The Lift & Co. Cannabis Expo Toronto 2019
takes place following LCBC, from June 7 to 9, 2019 and features
over 250 exhibitors and hundreds of additional speakers on the Main
and Demo stages. Together, LCBC and Expo are Canada’s largest
cannabis consumer and industry convention, with last year’s Toronto
event drawing in more than 20,000 visitors.
New this year, LCBC and Expo anchor the inaugural Canadian
Cannabis Week (“CCW”), a seven-day series of public and industry
events in Toronto and across the country from June 3 to 9, 2019.
Launched by Lift & Co. in 2019, CCW provides another avenue for
the Canadian and international industries to connect as they
descend on Toronto, while bringing additional exposure to events
happening across the country. As the cannabis sector matures,
Canadian Cannabis Week will illuminate Canada’s global leadership
position as a unique and premier destination for investors,
industry thought leaders, brands and consumers to connect and
collaborate.
