About Cannabis Conference

London high-finance and cannabis are colliding in what is being called a 21st century green rush. With the changing global landscape surrounding marijuana-use, both medical and recreational, it is the perfect time to educate yourself and get involved in this growing market.
This is not something you will learn about in school, but it is something that could affect you in your day-to-day life in a big way. Discuss the controversy surrounding the topic, listen to the opinions of financial experts paving the way for the industry, and learn why marijuana is a good investment – for you individually as well as the broader economy.
Join us at Cass Business School for the first Cannabis Conference of its kind, hosted by the Alternative Finance and Investment Society and planned entirely by students.
