REAL CANNABIS
ENTREPRENEUR
CONFERENCE
“Seasoned entrepreneurs teach you EXACTLY how to break into the cannabis”
OCTOBER 5-6TH 2023
Newark, NJ – DoubleTree Hotel
WHAT IS THE REAL CANNABIS ENTREPRENEUR CONFERENCE?
The Real Cannabis Entrepreneur Conference is the ONLY event focused on providing progressive business owners, investors and opportunity seekers with real life how-to information about breaking into the cannabis industry.
No theory, state of the industry or policy based topics, just practical how-to instruction delivered by experienced cannabis professionals who’ve been there and done that!
WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
We had 22+ of the top Cannabis & CBD PIONEERS fly in from across the globe in 2019 to speak to a sold out crowd of 500+ attendees, 28+ sponsors & an array of journalists.
In 2021, our live show returned with a vengeance with a sold out crowd of 1,000+ attendees! 2022 was even bigger forcing us to upgrade to largest ballroom in NJ.
Many of our attendees said they learned more at our event in 2-days, than they did in months at pricey universities and learning facilities.

ABOUT US
The Real Cannabis Entrepreneur Conference was created by us 🙂 Husband and wife team, after spending years traveling the country, attending cannabis events, cannabis conferences, conventions and seminars to find the specifichow-to information on breaking into the industry.
After many years and dollars spent we realized most conferences were riddled with state of the industry, regulatory and legislative conversations, which although important fails to deliver the down and dirty blueprint that we were looking for to get started NOW!
We’re serial entrepreneurs and own an event planning company so we understands the value of investing in mentors, but after realizing most cannabis conferences only covered surface level topics, we decided to CREATE THE SOLUTION to our own problem.
Our mission is to help level the playing field and the empower the underserved by providing information and guidance needed to tap into one of the biggest and fasting growing industries on the planet.

“The magic of MJBizCon really is its convening power. I’m most excited to see all the different people from various places and parts of the industry come together. It’s like all roads lead to the end of the year in Vegas.”
“To have everything and everyone in one place makes it incredibly convenient. I had conversations with people I wouldn’t get a chance to interface with normally. It’s priceless.”

NATIONAL INTERDISCIPLINARY
CANNABIS SYMPOSIUM 2
Educating One Another
1 – 3 DECEMBER 2023
PORTLAND, OREGON
Welcome to the Second National Interdisciplinary Cannabis Symposium to be held at Portland State University
This year we hold the Symposium in the beautiful city of Portland, Oregon. Oregon was the first state to decriminallize cannabis in 1970s and one of the first states to legalize cannabis adult use in 2014.
There are now several pending Congressional Bills related to cannabis including decriminalisation and rescheduling of the drug.
Thirty- eight states have some form of medical marijuana. 23 States, D.C. Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and Tribal nations now have adult use marijuana laws with many others exploring legislation for recreational marijuana for 2023-24 .
These continued changes in laws are impacting our courts and society. It is also creating a dynamic and some times confusing landscape for various disciplines including Law Enforcement, Judges, The Legal Profession, In House Counsel, Drug Court Professionals, the Drug and Alcohol Testing Industry, Academia, and Human Resource Associations & Organisations.
The Symposium brings together all of these disciplines who bring with them a variety of viewpoints. The Byline for the Symposium is therefore “Educating One Another.” This year we have extended our Partnerships and have broadened the participation to include toxicologists, MDs and attorneys. We also have a professional Facilitator for the discussion breakouts and an inaugural Award called the Symposium Education Award (SEA). We hope that you join us and enjoy the Symposium!
The revenue generated from this Symposium will be used to cover the cost and seed money. Any excess funds will be donated to 501(C)(3)s. Thanks to all who have made a contribution to it.
The Partners
We Thank the Premier Sponsors

Rouson’s years of activism, bold leadership and community service culminated in his being elected to represent Tampa Bay in the Florida House of Representatives. He served the constituents of Tampa Bay as their representative for eight years.
In 2016, he was elected State Senator from District 19 which includes portions of Pinellas and Hillsborough counties. In November 2022 he was elected to his final term in the State Senate, District 16 (redistricting). Since Sen. Rouson began his tenure in the Florida Legislature, he has been regularly listed as one of Tampa Bay’s most influential politicians. In 2021, he was appointed to serve as a commissioner on the Mental Health and Substance Abuse Commission.
