The CannaVest East Institutional Capital Forum will be held on June 1-2, 2023 at CWCBExpo at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City. CannaVest East is expected to attract hundreds of cannabis industry professionals for two days of education, networking, advocacy and opportunity.

Attendees will include cannabis industry professionals representing private equity funds, venture capitalists, hedge funds, family offices, ultra high net worth investors, brands, retailers, regulators, policy advocates and operators from across the cannabis supply chain and the broader ecosystem.
