Michael Scanlon
Owner, 20/20 Growth Conferences
As the owner of 20/20 Growth Conferences, the producer of Cannabis Public Policy Conference, Michael operates like the COO. For example, it is his job to gather from participants policy recommendations and then publish a report with those industry ideas. It is not his job to provide or weigh in on the recommendations.
Amy Larson
Vice President of Marketing & PR - Simplifya
A reknowned speaker on cannabis issues and a key member of the NCIA’s marketing efforts, Amy and Simplifya are both recognized as leaders in the cannabis industry!
Brian Vicente
Founding Partner, VicenteSederberg
Brian Vicente has been helping marijuana businesses obtain state and local licenses since the inception of the regulated cannabis industry — an industry he has played a significant role in shaping. He has also advised national, state, and local government officials in the development of regulated cannabis markets across the country and around the world, including in Uruguay, the first country in the world to legalize and regulate marijuana for adult use. In late 2018, newly elected Colorado Gov. Jared Polis selected Brian to serve as a member of his gubernatorial transition team.
Sarah Bee
Business Development & Project Manager, VicenteSederberg
Sarah serves as the Business Development & Project Manager for the Hemp & Cannabinoids Department in Vicente Sederberg’s Denver office. She is responsible for helping the Department cultivate and retain clients, manage business and governmental relations, and ensure client satisfaction. Additionally, Sarah contributes to projects that advance the Department’s advocacy and policy work, and strengthens the Hemp & Cannabinoids team through strategic planning, project management, event planning, and efficient communications.
This is a sponsor-driven conference. We work to move the needle on issues like:
- Banking challenges
- Marketing restrictions
- Cannabinoid manufacturing standards
- Couriers and delivery in Colorado
In addition to the usual trappings like an exhibit booth and powerful networking opportunities, sponsors can earn a seat on a panel to position someone in their company as a thought leader in the industry. Best of all, you’ll have the opportunity to provide input and guidance to policymakers!
