7th Annual Cannabis LAB Conference and Expo Presented by DAG

Sponsored By

October 14 @ 9:00 am - October 15 @ 6:00 pm

As a continuation of its ongoing dedication to the budding Cannabis industry, Florida-based DAG Facilities – a national industry leader in the planning, design and construction of Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) facilities for the indoor agriculture industry – is proud to serve as the presenting sponsor of the 7th Annual Cannabis LAB (CLAB) Conference and Expo. The 7th Annual CLAB Conference and Expo will take place on Oct. 14-15 at the Diplomat Resort in Hollywood, Florida.

The 7th Annual CLAB Conference and Expo is expected to be a landmark event for Florida’s Cannabis industry. The stakes are higher than ever this year as Florida voters prepare to decide on Amendment 3 in November, a crucial ballot measure that could legalize recreational Cannabis use across the state. With a 60% vote needed to pass, it is essential to garner support, spread awareness and highlight the transformative impact that legalizing Cannabis can have on Florida’s economy, public health and social equity.

The conference will be a pivotal platform for advocacy and education. Bringing together Cannabis industry leaders, business executives, celebrities and politicians, the event offers a unique opportunity to make a compelling, unified statement about the benefits of Cannabis legalization. Attendees will have the opportunity to network, share insights and strategize on how to amplify the “Yes on 3” message. The collective influence of these key stakeholders can significantly shape public opinion and demonstrate the broad, bipartisan support for this initiative.

Participants are invited to contribute to a historic effort to redefine Florida\’s Cannabis landscape. This event will highlight the potential economic benefits, such as job creation, increased tax revenues and the social and health advantages of a regulated Cannabis market. It will also provide a forum to address concerns and misconceptions about Cannabis, emphasizing the importance of a legal and controlled environment over the existing black market.

As Florida nears a possible significant policy shift, the 7th Annual CLAB Conference and Expo will be the catalyst for informed dialogue and decisive action, helping to ensure a brighter, more prosperous future for the state through the responsible legalization of Cannabis.

Mr. Trainwreck, a critically acclaimed artist known for showcasing at Red Dot during Art Basel Miami Beach and throughout New York City, has been selected to create signature artwork for the event. He plans to showcase a chosen collection of his artwork of iconic 3D pop collage paintings and sculptures at the upcoming 7th Annual CLAB Conference and Expo, turning the location into a special art display. Alongside his presentation, there will be a silent auction offering attendees a chance to purchase art from his renowned collection.

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.
