Marijuana Business Daily, the leading source of financial, legal and business news for the cannabis industry, today announced the City of Las Vegas and Clark County have officially proclaimed the debut of ‘MJBizCon Week’ surrounding the annual MJBizCon Conference & Expo beginning in 2019.
Announced at Marijuana Business Daily’s fast-growing MJBizCon show at the Las Vegas Convention Center, taking place from November 14-16, 2018, the proclamations honor the event’s increasing global recognition, rapidly-expanding attendance and significant impact beyond the show floor.
“Since founding MJBizCon in 2012, our team at Marijuana Business Daily has worked tirelessly to create the preeminent conference and trade show for the cannabis industry,” said Cassandra Farrington, CEO & Co-Founder of Marijuana Business Daily.
“Today we’re thrilled that the City of Las Vegas and Clark County have recognized our efforts surrounding this rapidly-growing show—which parallel the industry’s incredible growth—and we look forward to many more MJBizCon Week events to come,” continued Farrington.
