Closing the Gap: Inside BIPOCann’s Cannabis Equity Summit

On May 14 in Denver, Colorado, BIPOCann hosted the second installment of the Cannabis Equity Summit.

According to BIPOCann, the goal of the event was to “close the gap between social equity founders and the capital, infrastructure, and relationships needed for growth.”

The event marked the culmination of BIPOCann’s Spring 2026 Advanced Mentorship Program. During the summit, cohort members had the opportunity to meet and connect with potential retail partners, investors, and collaborators.

Beginning at 9:45 a.m., the summit featured a full day of panel discussions, networking opportunities, and educational programming. The event concluded with a happy hour sponsored by FlowerHire.
