About Illinois Hemp Growers Summit

With the signing of the Illinois hemp bill, there are opportunities around the cultivation, distribution, and processing of hemp - a plant variety with close to zero THC, or the intoxication compound found in cannabis plants.

This versatile cash crop has the potential to empower small farmers and revitalize farming communities.

Come learn about the legal hemp program in Illinois, what you'll need to get started, permit application FAQ's and how to build partnerships in the industry.
