“The NYCI conference gave me everything I needed to build the dream team in New York’s budding cannabis market. The people I met here will allow us all to rise to the top together.”
“The NYS Cannabis Insider event in Tarrytown was incredibly valuable. I have been to a lot of Cannabis industry events and this one was top tier. Everyone was there to connect and there was a ton of great panels that felt thoughtful and intimate.”
“Great event! The format, the time allowed to network, and the great amenities at the venue allowed us to focus on what counts: education and connections. Having participated and attended a lot of these events, it was refreshing to see some #cannabis subjects that are usually not discussed, i.e.: point of view of illicit market players, leaders of opt-out communities and how to speak to them, etc.”
“I am really impressed with the diversity on these panels. It’s rare to see a cannabis conference with this much gender and race parity. Major congrats for making sure the speakers look like New York.”
“Everything was perfect—the programming, the venue and the way the event played out logistically. I’m still riding the buzz, even after the train ride back.”
“Your event was a very efficient use of my time. The event was tailored to the exact needs of the current cannabis climate in NYS.”
