On Friday, February 16, 2018, the Yale School of Management will be the site of the student-run Business of Legal Cannabis Conference, the first-ever cannabis conference held at a U.S. business school. The objective of this one-day event is to convene leaders from all sectors of society—private, government, and nonprofit—to discuss the opportunities and challenges of the business of legal cannabis.
The morning sessions will present conference attendees with a broad overview of the cannabis industry, while the afternoon sessions will provide a deeper dive into specific topical areas, including diversity and racial equity, women in cannabis, healthcare and wellness, private equity and venture capital, branding and marketing, and sustainability.
