Tiffany Burtt, Co-Founder, Bulb Giadha DeCarcer, Founder and CEO, New Frontier Data Shannon Hoffman, Regional Director of Operations & Certifying Chemist, Steep Hill Technology guarantees the near future of cannabis looks nothing like the present. Join us for a networking event and general discussion on how technology is distrusting and advancing the cannabis industry. We will be addressing questions such as: How is technology transforming the business and culture of cannabis? How can professionals working in tech transfer their skills to the cannabis space? What are the next big advancements in tech impacting cannabis? Cannabis is the fastest growing industry in the United States. As the industry grows and policy catches up with public interest opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors are abundant. Join us for a discussion with New Frontier Data and Bulb as we explore and share best practices for entrepreneurs seeking to turn their tech career into a cannabis tech career. Thank you to our sponsor, Bulb. Special thanks to RedRocks H Street for hosting us in their space.

You'll meet people of all gender expressions at different stages of their career in the cannabis industry. Many will be in the research phase, just learning more about opportunities, while still working day jobs. Some are looking for jobs with existing organizations. Others are starting up their own cannabis venture or ancillary business. Depending on the status of legalization in your state, you'll also meet cannabis business owners & investors who are well on their way. Why should I attend? Personal connections are the key to professional success. Through the wide variety of events offered to members of Women Grow, trustworthy business relationships sprout from the face-to-face interactions of our members. Together we have more power. As the cannabis industry grows on a national and global scale, women have the opportunity to build a new American industry from inception and redefine the workplace to create environments in which we can flourish and define our own destiny, and cultivate the next generation of industry leaders.
