CanEx Jamaica Business Conference and Expo is set to begin tomorrow (September 15) in Montego Bay, St James.

The annual business conference and expo serves as an international platform that connects industry players from across the globe with the common goal of expanding the cannabis industry.

The business-to-business event brings together top cannabis industry experts from the United States (US), Canada, South and Central America, Europe, Australia, and the Caribbean.

Its main focus is to develop and foster the growth of the cannabis industry by connecting individuals who share an interest in the industry.

Through world-class speakers and panelists, the conference provides insight into the global direction of the industry.

The expo features a mix of high-level conversation and practical opportunities led by international specialists with real-life applications in the industry, presenting opportunities for investment, medical advances and uses, as well as the legal landscape.
