First Of Its Kind Medical Cannabis Seminar Brings Together Lawmakers And Business Community To Offer Guidance To Those Who Seek To Cash In On Nevada’s New Law
Las Vegas, July 26, 2013 — It isn’t often that you get the opportunity to become part of a new billion dollar industry, but that’s exactly what’s happening now in Nevada. With the passage of SB374 and the upcoming reforms to the Nevada Medical Marijuana law, it seems that everyone is rushing to Nevada to grab a chunk of this new canna-business. Seminars from outside groups are being held which talk about the cannabis industry in California or Colorado. These companies are bringing in out of state people to talk about out of state programs. These speakers talk to people about growing plants, making tincture or running a dispensary or a bakery after you have a business license.
Well, what about the answers you need to get your license in the first place? Produced by the Wellness Education Cannabis Advocates of Nevada (WeCan), the Nevada Medical Cannabis Symposium will be held on Saturday August 3 at the Alexis Park All Suite Resort in Las Vegas. The conference will address the specific needs for owners, operators and investors on how to develop a business plan structure for the best chance to obtain their license in Nevada. What makes this event unique is that state and county officials will take part in the dialogue in order to address business community concerns and craft a set of regulations which will benefit all aspects of the Nevada citizenry: patients, businesses, public agencies and law enforcement.
The symposium is designed to help Nevada business entrepreneurs get the information from the governmental source in order to make intelligent decisions that will give them the best opportunity to secure the limited number of licenses that will be issued. At the same time we will help to encourage the development of an ethical, responsible healthcare industry for the benefit of our state, its citizens and those savvy entrepreneurs who are jumping in early.
“We have a unique opportunity here in Nevada to strongly influence how the new medical cannabis industry regulation will unfold,” said WeCan Political Outreach Director Michael McAuliffe. “State and county officials understand the need to get this right, both for patients and the community as a whole. Unlike in most states, our officials are granting unparalleled access to members of their business and patient constituencies during the process of defining this emerging industry. This symposium offers the first opportunity for these groups to come together and begin drafting a roadmap that will benefit all Nevadans.”
The producers of this symposium have put together a speaker list which will make for a very informative curriculum tailored to what you need to know to open up in Nevada. The speakers that have committed to appear at the event include:
Onsite registration for the Nevada Medical Cannabis Symposium – Green Rush Nevada will begin at 8 a.m. on Saturday August 3 at the Alexis Park All Suite Resort, located at 375 E. Harmon Avenue in Las Vegas. After the morning session, which begins at 8:30 a catered “Ask the Experts” lunch will take place in a room adjacent to the seminar hall, during which attendees can break bread and converse with the featured speakers in a less formal setting.
WeCan president Jennifer Solas sees the conference as a win-win opportunity. “By bringing together government and business in an open forum before regulations are crafted, we expect that the synergy we create will result a regulatory structure that can serve as a model for the country. The funds we raise will allow WeCan to continue working for patient protection under the law as we successfully did during the Nevada Legislative session this past spring.”
Following the afternoon session a networking cocktail reception will take place at 6 p.m., sponsored by DrReefer.com. The cocktail reception will be open not only to attendees, but also to patients and prospective employees who are interested in working in or patronizing businesses in this emerging industry. An added bonus is the fact that on the same day, an investor conference with an expected attendance of 1,000 business investors will be taking place at the Alexis Park, and the cocktail reception will be open to them as well. All in all, Green Rush Nevada is the place to be if you’re serious about taking part in the Nevada cannabis industry.

THIS is the event where you can get the information you need to know about opening a medical cannabis business in Nevada from the people who wrote and passed the law. Don’t get your news from secondhand sources when you can get your questions answered by the people with firsthand knowledge. Your competitors for these licenses will be at the Nevada Medical Cannabis Symposium. We hope that you will be, too.
