About 5th chapter Canna EAST/WEST Series
Now in its 5th chapter, Infocast's respected Canna EAST/WEST Series comes to New York City. As before, top state regulators compare notes both with each other, and with leading operators, testing labs, regional advocacy groups, standards-setting bodies and experts. Past Summits have featured dozens of senior regulators from many different states & major counties and cities. In addition to this audience, which cannot be found at any other expo or operator-centric event, this East Coast iteration will include a mini-exhibits area of regulatory and compliance consultants, analytics, testing, lab proficiency and certification providers, GMP consultants, and extraction, packaging and labelling solutions, which will complement the highly focused program.
