In addition to his keynote, Chong will be honoured with the Legends of Cannabis Award at the Grow Up Industry Awards Gala on the same day. This inaugural award celebrates individuals who have made significant contributions to the growth of the cannabis industry both locally and globally.

We can’t wait to hear his insights and stories on stage with his son, Paris Chong.”
