The event will feature corporate presentations, key note speakers and will include a specialized track of North American companies in the emerging legal cannabis industry. Midtown Partners & Co., LLC ("MTP"), New York based broker-dealer, will host the conference.
"We have higher demand than we anticipated. In order to accommodate the expected crowd we needed to change the venue, which necessitated a change in the date. We also have considerable demand from high quality private companies that want to present. We are excited to add an additional new format to accommodate private companies and accredited investors. Along with an array of compelling corporate presentations, the conference will feature thought leaders who will detail cannabis related market and regulatory analysis and investment opportunities in an industry that we believe is an emerging major investment theme" said John Clarke Managing Director of Midtown Partners.
"We remain confident in our plan to build shareholder value by focusing on three exciting verticals within the legal cannabis sector: a) facilities and technologies, b) legal cannabis research and investment banking, and c) pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals that harness the medicinal value of cannabinoids," stated Ram Mukunda, CEO of IGC, Inc.
