David Klein, CEO of Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX:WEED) NASDAQ: CGC)
and Nancy Whiteman, co-founder and CEO of Wana Brands will be delivering a keynote at the upcoming Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference, the world's largest and most successful cannabis investing and finance event.
The conference is being held on April 20 and April 21, 2022 at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach Hotel where Klein and Whiteman will open the final day with a keynote address in which they will discuss the strategies necessary to be successful in the U.S. cannabis market from the point of view of pre and post legalization.
"To realize the full potential of the U.S. THC market, cannabis companies must be strategic in their approach to entry and balance both short- and long-term business needs," noted Klein. "At Canopy Growth, we're focused on continuing to build an unparalleled U.S. ecosystem through strategic relationships with both multi-state operators and best-in-class consumer brands and I look forward to outlining our approach further during the conference."
Whiteman, who co-founded Wana brands in 2010 in Colorado, saw the company’s sales skyrocket soon thereafter as adult-use cannabis became legal and expanded to numerous states. Late in 2021, Wana Brands was acquired by Canopy Growth.
"The growth Wana has experienced over the past decade provides a compelling framework for profitably scaling a cannabis company and is a case study in the importance of innovation," Whiteman said. "Creating unique and interesting products is a priority at Wana. As we move closer to federal legalization in the United States, the insights gained from this approach remain relevant for other brands as they navigate the U.S. cannabis market."
