New Jersey’s Expanding Markets
Accelerate Cannabis welcomed new faces to the New Jersey cannabis industry to discuss what the next year had in store—it was a groundbreaking event to meet and discuss how best to position and make moves for yourself, your brand, or your business.
New Jersey Performing Arts Center (NJPAC) hosted a dynamic evening of effective dining, beverages, and networking for the whole region to come together for one agenda on one night.
Our priority has been to educate the community about the state of affairs in the industry at the local, regional, and global levels – only with enough context were we able to lead New Jersey to become a model for other states and the federal level.
This event helped entrepreneurs to learn about the journey from international public financing, to global commodities viewpoints, to adult-use delivery and multi-state brand-building – from risk and tax management, to media relations and application development all while prioritizing lessons of social equity to give back and rebuild local communities as partners.
