About Infused Product Conference

Do you run an extraction operation, manufacture edibles, produce vape cartridges, make wax or shatter, or manufacture other infused products? Or are you looking to acquire a license and start an infused products company? The Infused Products Conference is the MUST-ATTEND event for you.
Or if you supply infused products companies plant materials, equipment or services, retail their products, OR you regulate infused products companies, you can’t afford to miss the Infused Products Conference.
Among the three primary cannabis licensed businesses – cultivation, retail and infused products – the latter is the least understood and the most complex, offers the most options for branding and specialization, and has the most nebulous regulatory structure. In addition, the science involved is complex, the potential to incur financial loss is great, and compliance is compounded by food, manufacturing and Environmental Health and Safety regulations.
Infused products businesses also have special Seed-to-Sale tracking requirements that are often misunderstood and difficult to navigate.
