LEARNING PLANNER: AUGUST-SEPTEMBER 2021.

Welcome to the new issue of brainfood!

We've got some big news to share! The California state legislature has recently approved $100 million to help support the cannabis industry in the state. And with 10 new states slated to begin selling legalized cannabis products, the industry continues to experience rapid growth. In fact, the national cannabis market is projected to pull in $43 billion by 2025. Want to know how these changes will affect the industry and your clients or employer?

Join us Friday, Aug. 6, for our Cannabis Business Virtual Symposium where you'll explore growth drivers, key risks and challenges, changes in the regulatory landscape, and the impact of these updates on tax, accounting and finance for the cannabis sector. The California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDFTA) and the California Cannabis Industry Association (CCIA) will share their insights, and we'll cover an array of other topics including a look at the state of the market, accessing and raising capital, operating across jurisdictions, cannabis banking, costing methodologies and emerging issues related to social equity businesses.

Whether you're just getting started in cannabis, or you're well established in this sector, our conference is perfect for you! And you'll also get to network with other professionals with similar interests.
