As Calgarians aim to grow the economy into different industries, Cannabis has become a major opportunity for startups. In fact, Cannabis is set to outpace soda sales in Canada by 2020. Calgary Cannabis startups are leading this birth of a new industry by leveraging global connections to ensure their place on the world stage. Join us June 27th as we chat with three of the top leaders in this space. Startup Grind Calgary is proud to present: Regulatory advocacy expert: Lindsay Blackett, President of the Canada Cannabis Chamber and former Alberta MLA. Lindsay will lend his expertise and advice for navigating the new and exciting regulatory space set to drop when Cannabis is legalized. Branding and retail expert: Walker McKinley, Partner and Founder at McKinley Burkart. Walker is poised to take advantage of exciting new opportunities by the time Cannabis is legalized, putting Calgary on the map as a global leader in the retail Cannabis space. Production and Distribution: Jason Kujath, President of 51st Parallel Inc. Jason is sharing his concepts for the successful production and distribution of Cannabis across Alberta and Canada.
