The Ohio Cannabis Health & Business Summit is a two-day event aimed at both the general public and cannabis professionals. The annual event is geared towards both the B2B and B2C arenas, educating the public about products and developments in the cannabis world, while bringing together a wide variety of experts in this burgeoning market.
With about 100 exhibitors on the trading floor and a conference geared toward offering knowledge and networking opportunities, the summit’s mission is to share information about the medical cannabis industry, CBD, and cannabinoids, while also offering opportunities for cannabis companies and professionals to address challenges and make connections.
The event involves more than 50 speakers, patient forums, and professional panels. There’s something for everyone: from opportunities to get medical marijuana cards and connect with vendors, physicians, and cannabis advocates, to engaging keynote speakers and opportunities to keep up-to-date with the most recent developments in the B2B cannabis industry.
