Denver, CO, Aug. 24, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Brett Roper, chief executive officer and co-founder of leading cannabis consultancy Medicine Man Technologies, will be speaking at two key industry conferences this month: MoneyShow, held August 24-26 at the San Francisco Marriott Marquis; and State of Marijuana, to be held in Los Angeles at the Cross Campus–Downtown LA co-working complex on August 26-27.
“I look forward to sharing the stage with some of the movers and shakers in the cannabis sector and investing,” said Roper. “The cannabis industry is one that truly offers entrepreneurs and investors a chance to enter a true nascent sector on the ground floor. Given the cannabis sector’s newness, however, navigating regulation and licensing can prove challenging, especially to recent industry entrants. During the segments I am participating in, I hope to share some of the knowledge base we have accrued at Medicine Man Technologies with those looking to learn more about this exciting business.”
Mr. Roper will be featured in two panels at the MoneyShow conference. The first, “What an Investor Needs to Know About the Basics of Cannabis Cultivation and Extraction,” is intended to be a primer for new investors on cultivation methods, extraction technology and the recent trend toward oil-based products. The second, titled “Meet the Experts Capitalizing on the Cannabis Industry,” feature insight from key cannabis business leaders on how to get in on the action in the wake of the six statewide ballot initiatives legalizing marijuana this past November. Both panels are on August 25; the first is from 10:55 – 11:15 am; the second is from 4:30 – 5:15 pm.
At the State of Marijuana conference, Mr. Roper is to first take the stage at 10:30 am on August 26 for a workshop focusing on cultivation. Topics he plans to discuss include the benefits and pitfalls of growing outdoors versus in a greenhouse and tips for cultivation in any environment; as well as how to run a sustainable growing facility, including energy-efficient farming techniques and irrigation optimization. On August 27 at 1:30 pm, during the panel “Going Public: What Do You Need to Know?” Roper will lend his expertise on how to go public as a cannabis company, including listing on the OTCQB, where the lion’s share of U.S.-listed cannabis companies is traded. For a glimpse into Brett’s thoughts on this topic, listen to his August 19 appearance on cannabis-focused podcast The Real Dirt with Chip Baker.
Mr. Roper brings to these events years of business experience, both in and out of the cannabis sector. In addition to co-founding Medicine Man Technologies in 2014, he has guided several Form 10 and S1 filings as well as efforts to get publicly traded companies uplisted to NASDAQ. Mr. Roper has also spearheaded a national marketing program for a regional real estate developer and managed the acquisition, interim holding and disposition of major industrial properties in the 50,000 – 400,000 square-foot range. Roper’s well-rounded business background has enabled him to work as a quiet advisor for several companies and cannabis-sector investors.
