CLAB Conference

After hosting its 7th Annual Cannabis LAB (CLAB) Conference and Expo last month in Hollywood, CLAB held its Annual CEO VIP Dinner at Hyde Beach House to gather CEOs and influential figures in the cannabis industry for an intimate Moroccan-themed dinner. The 7th Annual CLAB Conference and Expo, presented by DAG Facilities, allowed the cannabis community to safely connect, engage, learn and grow.

The conference was a crucial venue for advocacy and education as Florida voters gear up to vote on Amendment 3 on Tuesday. By uniting cannabis industry leaders, corporate executives, celebrities, and politicians, the event provided a distinctive chance to present a strong, united front advocating for the benefits of cannabis legalization. Attendees could network, exchange ideas, and plan strategies to strengthen the “Yes on 3” campaign. The combined influence of these prominent figures can play a significant role in shaping public opinion and showcasing the wide-ranging, bipartisan support for this initiative.

Guests at the CEO VIP Dinner were welcomed with a Sour Apple Kamikaze cocktail and had the chance to encounter exotic animals like an alligator and a python snake. Matthew Hebb, the “Yes on 3” Campaign Manager, raised a toast to greet attendees and offered a brief rundown on the advantages of voting “yes” on Amendment 3 for the industry. The night was further enlivened by captivating performances from Moroccan belly dancers, adding a distinctive festive flair. Additionally, Jarobi, a founding member of the influential alternative Hip Hop group A Tribe Called Quest, delivered an engaging Hip Hop and Reggae set.

Sponsors for the CEO dinner included Aloré Event Firm; DAG Facilities; Durée & Company; Lifestyle Media Group; Hyde Beach House; In10se Design; Killa Dinks; CanPay; Connected Cannabis Co., Goldflower; Highsman; Greenspoon Marder; LumaLex Law; ACS Laboratory; S2S Insurance Specialists; BioTrack; and Yes on 3.

Drew Limsky

Editor-in-Chief

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
