The Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel will host one of the world’s largest and most successful cannabis investing and finance events when the 14th Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference commences on Wednesday. The two-day conference will allow participants to network with executives of top-performing cannabis companies and gain insight from the world’s leading cannabis investors.

“We’ve seen cannabis businesses raise tens of millions of dollars at our events and this year’s meeting will be even larger, with a record level of investment capital and top-notch operators,” Jason Raznick says, CEO of Benzinga, a financial news and data company recently acquired at a $300 million. “We’ll also dive into key issues related to cannabis and capital markets with incredible speakers and, for the first time ever, a slew of new features we cannot share publicly just yet.”

The Cannabis Capital Conference will provide keynote speakers, panel discussions, fireside chats, company presentations and investor and celebrity appearances. New to this year’s event include:

• An expo floor featuring bigger booths and additional branding opportunities
• A private, VIP area for select companies and investors.
• An upgraded system for 1:1 meetings.

 

“Adding an expo floor is extremely exciting for us,” Patrick Lane says, Executive Vice President of Partnerships at Benzinga. “We were waiting for the right time to do this; now that we’ve had many years to curate the best of the best companies in the cannabis space, we feel confident that the offering will be like no other. This, on top of the already impressive speaker lineup and investment opportunities Benzinga always brings to the table.”
