THE WORLD’S TOP CONFERENCE DEDICATED TO EMERGING CANNABIS AND HEMP SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY IS COMING BACK TO SLOVENIA

THE INTERNATIONAL CANNABIS BUSINESS CONFERENCE WILL BE HELD IN BLED, SLOVENIA ON SEPTEMBER 13TH AT THE ICONIC RIKLI BALANCE HOTEL

The conference will also feature an after-party hosted by acclaimed multi-Grammy winning DJ and producer Native Wayne. The conference after-party is sponsored by Metaflora and will be held at the Grand Hotel Toplice.

The conference in Bled is the first major cannabis event to be held in Slovenia after the nation’s historic cannabis votes in June. A majority of voters in Slovenia selected ‘yes’ when asked, “Should the Republic of Slovenia allow the cultivation and possession of cannabis for limited personal use on its territory?”

Additionally, a super-majority of Slovenian voters (66.71%) selected ‘yes’ during the June election when asked, “Should the Republic of Slovenia allow the cultivation and processing of cannabis for medical purposes on its territory?”

Cannabis and hemp science and technology are expansive topics involving ecological remediation, biology, horticulture, chemistry, and nearly every other scientific field of study. Leading regional and international experts will participate in keynote presentations and panel discussions as part of the event’s curriculum.

As the emerging international cannabis industry continues to expand in size and scope, the demand for research and development is increasing. As an established international leader in research and development, Slovenia is uniquely positioned to gain a meaningful market share of the sector and this event will explore potential options that the nation and region can pursue.

“We are currently living in a cannabis science and technology revolution. With prohibition policies being removed, more cannabis research is being conducted than ever before, particularly in Europe.”

States Alex Rogers, co-founder, and CEO of the International Cannabis Business Conference.

“With so much going on, it is vital for the future success of the industry, and for unlocking the full potential of the cannabis plant, that leading scientists, researchers, and innovators network with and learn from each other. I am excited for my team to facilitate this conference in Slovenia and to bring the world’s leading minds together to help push cannabis science and technology forward.”

Rogers also stated.
