3rd Annual Cannabis Science Conference, the world’s largest and most technical scientific cannabis event, is excited to announce celebrity plenary speaker, Fran Dresher as part of their already innovative line up of cannabis industry experts.
“Every year the Cannabis Science Conference works diligently to create relationships with celebrity influencers who are either in the cannabis space or looking to get involved,” said Joshua Crossney, President, CEO and Founder of CSC Events, LLC. “We are thrilled to be able to introduce Fran Drescher to the cannabis science community. It has been such a pleasure getting to know Fran over the past few years through Cancer Schmancer and their wonderful events, such as the annual Cancer Schmancer Health Summit in Los Angeles and Cabaret Cruise in NYC. When I saw that Fran and Cancer Schmancer were beginning to include medical cannabis education into their events, I knew that Fran would be a perfect fit to address our esteemed guests at the 2018 Cannabis Science Conference.”
Taking place at the Oregon Convention Center in Portland, OR, from August 27 – 29, 2018, the Cannabis Science Conference organized by CSC Events, LLC, with title sponsor Shimadzu Scientific Instruments, is aimed at improving cannabis science. They pull together cannabis industry experts, instrument manufacturers, testing labs, research scientists, medical practitioners, policy makers and interested novices. This year the conference is expected to have over 3,000 attendees and 150 vendors from all over the world, another increase from last year where they saw 2,400 attendees and 125 vendors.
