2019 Summit's Participating Organizations

The Premier National Marijuana Symposium for Regulators, Law Enforcement, and Public Sector Officials

The City of Denver has partnered with Infocast for the 5th annual Denver Marijuana Management Symposium. This year, the City of Denver and Infocast have coordinated to develop a program that addresses a slew of challenges marijuana programs face at various points of development. We will have “Marijuana Regulation 101” sessions, focusing on high-level issues, like development of licensing fees and tax rates, community involvement, and fire and building codes, as well as “Marijuana Regulation 201” sessions that will take a deep dive into some of the more complex issues posed by marijuana regulation, including social equity, social consumption, and retail delivery operations.

The Symposium focuses solely on the public sector, and how regulators can effectively tackle the challenges that come with implementing and enforcing regulation in the ever-evolving marijuana industry. If you’re a public sector employee seeking to develop expertise about regulated marijuana, this is the event for you!
