What You Can Expect From A Lift Event
As healthy debates are encouraged, the business, diversity, and the future of cannabis will be addressed. Leading subject matter experts and fresh new voices will take to the stage. Retailers, brands and those who help to create them from seed to sale will be elevated and innovative new products will be discovered. Plus, Lift’s signature surprises and “a-ha” moments, live music, cameo appearances, prize giveaways and the legendary Lift After Party, are designed to surprise and delight.
How Do We Do It
Through one-on-one connections and conversations, the Lift team ensures that each event’s content, expo and activations are unique. And most importantly, Lift cares for each audience within the full cannabis spectrum – growers, brands and product delivery, advocacy and investment, legal, budtenders and more – while paying tribute to the roots of each event’s location.
