This event comes at a critical time for the industry. Over the last several months, many U.S. cannabis companies and multistate operators have had to trim their workforces, close facilities, and engage in other cutting-cost efforts as the market downturn continues. Cannabis Conference's high-level education program is carefully curated by the editors of Cannabis Business Times and an editorial advisory board to meet the needs of plant-touching businesses, and focuses on essential industry topics, including how to survive this downturn. | | In a recent interview with Cannabis Business Times, Claudio Miranda — co-founder and CEO of Guild Enterprises, a brand management company that oversees a family of cannabis brands, and Cannabis Conference 2023 Advisory Board member and speaker — shared key takeaways and lessons learned from Cannabis Conference 2022 and why operators should attend this year. Here are some excerpts from that interview: |

| CBT: What features did you like best about the Cannabis Conference 2022 event experience? Claudio Miranda: My favorite aspect of the Cannabis Conference is the intimacy of the event and the ease with which I am able to make meaningful connections with other cannabis operators. Last year was particularly impactful because the quality of the attendees allowed me to meet people who faced business challenges or presented opportunities that were directly relevant to my business.… Moreover, the lessons learned from the sessions are more directly translatable to my day-to-day operations, so I'm able to readily put my connections and learnings into action and measure my return on investment. CBT: Why should plant-touching businesses attend Cannabis Conference this year? Miranda: Times are really tough in the cannabis industry right now, and it's really easy to cut expenses that don't directly contribute to sustaining daily operations. But it's equally easy to lose perspective and feel defeated if you don't get out of the facility, talk with your peers, and tap our collective wisdom to find creative and inspiring solutions to our challenges. The universe presents opportunities and good fortune for those who actively seek it out, so it is imperative that we all find ways to share our experiences with like-minded operators to explore synergies and opportunities to collaborate. Cannabis Conference offers a way to do this through a very focused, intimate, and impactful experience that is sure to inform and reinvigorate your cannabis journey. Join us in Las Vegas this August to take home actionable insights that will have an immediate impact on your business and explore synergies and collaborate with professionals from other plant-touching cannabis businesses!
