- 9:00am-10:40am Protect Your Assets – Success in Cannabis Staffing, Compliance, Branding, and IP- Even before fully launching, cannabis startups need the right foundation. Too often, startups neglect proper human resources and branding protections. Success starts with the right professionals, the right employees, and the right protections for branding and intellectual property. Learn how to identify and retain skilled staff, all while maintaining employment law and regulatory compliance. Discover how, and why, to obtain trademark and patent protection for cannabis and hemp IP from day one, and how to safeguard and leverage it every day thereafter.
- 10:50am-11:50am Crafting a Winning License Application- It takes a village to create a successful state or local cannabis license application package. Learn about the experts necessary to ensure approval of a local and state license application and how to handle some of the more complicated regulatory compliance issues faced by applicants.
