About Analytical Cannabis Expo 2020

Following a sell-out inaugural event in 2019, the Analytical Cannabis Expo returns to San Francisco in March 2020. This unique cannabis industry event focuses exclusively on the best cannabis extraction and testing science and, the regulations that impact these fields. By providing scientists from the fields of testing and extraction with a platform to discuss their work we will allow them to showcase the most important and exciting developments in the field. Our event is designed with networking in mind and will allow you to meet like-minded individuals who share the common goal of advancing the science of cannabis.

With assistance from our expert advisory board we have put together an agenda that will ensure you hear from the leaders that are dedicated to driving the cannabis industry forward. For anyone interested in cannabis testing, extraction, regulation and, consumer safety this is a must attend event.
