By Brooke Gilbert, Director of Events and Education

As the director of events and education for the National Cannabis Industry Association, there are many joys that come along with managing our speaker bureau.

Putting together the agenda for our annual national conference, the Cannabis Business Summit, is without a doubt one of the most enjoyable and important responsibilities I manage. Time and time again we hear from attendees how valuable the information presented at our events was to them. We are always striving for the highest quality of speakers and most relevant session topics to help your cannabis business be successful in the long run.

This is where you, as a valued member of NCIA, come in.

Our content would not be top-notch without the leaders in the cannabis industry volunteering their time and expertise to making our educational programming the best it can be. That’s why I’m calling on you to submit your session proposal to be included in our agenda for the Cannabis Business Summit 2016.

“The organization and overall experience at [NCIA] events is always extremely professional. The Cannabis Business Summit was no exception. As someone who attends over 30 industry events a year, I believe this makes for an environment which is conducive to teach and learn.”

-Nick Tanem, Owner, Essential Extracts

Becoming a speaker at our Cannabis Business Summit establishes you as a thought leader in the cannabis industry. It presents you with the opportunity to address and educate a national audience of business owners and operators. It also gives you the direct opportunity to continue creating and contributing to the advancement of a responsible industry. By working together and sharing knowledge, we will continue to raise the bar collectively and propel us into a new era.

So what are you waiting for? Submit your proposal today! Have questions or suggestions about how you can contribute to NCIA’s educational programs? Connect with me at brooke@thecannabisindustry.org to discuss potential opportunities.
