America’s Largest Hemp Expo Adds Pre-Conference Investment Forum to Full-day Business Conference, Farm Symposium and Expanded Exhibit Hall
DENVER (January 24, 2019) – From botanicals to bioplastics, and from CBD to building materials, industrial hemp’s many uses will be showcased at the 6th Annual NoCo Hemp Expo (#NoCo6) on March 29-30, 2019, at the Crowne Plaza DIA Convention Center in Denver. The NoCo Hemp Expo is the largest gathering of hemp industry professionals under one roof.
Approximately 8,000-10,000 attendees, including investors, entrepreneurs, manufacturers, farmers, producers and other leaders in hemp will attend this year’s event to participate in a newly added pre-conference Investment Forum on March 28, plus a full-day Business Conference, Farm Symposium and expanded Exhibition Hall open to professionals on March 29-30. Additionally, tickets are available to the public to visit the Expo Hall on Saturday, March 30.
New Investment Forum Added to Educational Program
The hemp industry is poised for exponential growth now that this incredibly useful plant is legal to grow and sell in the U.S. for the first time in over 80 years. To address the growing needs of the U.S. hemp market, expected to reach $4 billion in sales by 2022, Colorado Hemp Company – the producer of NoCo6 – is partnering with Hemp Industry Daily to add a Pre-Conference Investment Forum on March 28. The pre-conference event is open to accredited and institutional investors along with industry CEOs and executives looking for capital investment avenues to grow their businesses. For more information, visit www.NoCoHempExpo.com.
For NoCo6’s main conference programming, the 2019 event will feature a solid lineup of business leaders and experts in the industrial hemp market. The initial round of keynote presenters and speakers for the Investment Forum, Business Conference and Farm Symposium will be announced in early February. Topics for the full-day Let’s Talk Hemp Business Conference range from legal and banking issues to supply chain management, retail strategies and marketing and communications. Topics for the Farm Symposium include seed genetics, soil health, regenerative organic farming practices, harvesting, drying and processing, and more.
NoCo Hemp Expo has featured such speakers as Arran Stephens, CEO and co-founder of Nature’s Path, one of the largest privately held sellers of organic and hemp foods; John Roulac, hemp food pioneer and founder of Nutiva; Winona LaDuke, Native American tribal leader, hemp agriculture advocate and former Vice-Presidential candidate of the United States; world-renowned soil expert Ray Archuleta; leading hemp attorney Bob Hoban; and many others.
70,000+ Square Feet of Hemp Exhibits and Education Under One Roof
NoCo Hemp Expo will feature 70,000+ sq. ft. of exhibits and education programming space with 225 exhibitors. In addition to the Business Conference and Farm Symposium, NoCo6 will feature a Global Hemp Village, science and technical workshops, networking events and after-parties. The Business Conference, Farm Symposium and the Bish Enterprises Equipment Zone all will be expanded this year to accommodate the rapidly growing interest in all things hemp.
“We’re excited to raise the level of professionalism at NoCo6. We’ve built the biggest stage and best platform in the hemp space over the past five years to bring together experts, thought leaders and organizations as we curate a future for an industry that can truly and meaningfully impact the world in a positive way,” said Morris Beegle, co-producer of NoCo Hemp Expo.
