Designing and Growing Cannabis in Large Scale Facilities
Presentation
Nowadays the production of medicinal cannabis is switching from indoor facilities to greenhouses. The advantages of using natural sources such as light are large and drastically reduces energy consumption. There are also challenges, controlling the climate in a greenhouse requires different techniques and growth strategy.
The presentation will be focusing on climate control and plant behaviour, we will talk about growing strategies.
We will discuss subjects as:
Humidity control and temperature, Light, screens, irrigation/water management.
We will mainly focus on the climate and how that increases production and keeping plants more healthy.

The New Rules Explained: Navigating the Licensing & Regulatory Maze
Panel Discussion
You knew the end of prohibition wouldn’t come without fine print. Indeed, “legalized” cannabis may arguably be more regulated than ever. Cultivating companies will need to provide background checks from top to bottom. Outdoor growing has a code of security requirements that some say make it prohibitively expensive. Potency has yet to be properly addressed. Will some genetics still be illegal? And what the heck is a “micro-cultivation license” anyway? The grey areas are endless. But the expertise on this panel can help lead you safely through the maze.

Grow-Op From The Ground Up: Successful Cultivation Facilities, Design, Construction & Occupancy
Panel Discussion
An industry is born, and it just got real. “Compassion growers” who started with a few lights are suddenly in the commercial game with thousands of them. A plant that seemed easy to grow when you were dealing with a dozen, requires high-tech lighting, irrigation and systems engineering when you’re working out of a full warehouse. There are a handful of go-to companies with top-to-bottom facility expertise in facility creation and management. They’ve seen major successes and brutal mistakes, and, in this panel, they’ll share insights that could set you up from the ground up.

Environmental Permitting for Greenhouse Operations
Presentation
Environmental permitting of greenhouse operations can be a significant task, and one that producers considering this market should have an appreciation for. This presentation will discuss the regulatory framework around Water, Sewage, and Air permitting for Greenhouse facilities, who the approval agencies are, what they are looking for, and what timelines can be associated with getting permits in place.
Growers Luncheon: Meeting of the Minds (Invite Only)
Private Event
We are bringing the best in cannabis growing minds together for a networking, idea-sharing, meeting of the minds luncheon. The idea of the inaugural and annual Grower’s Luncheon is to foster conviviality amongst growers. A panel of diverse growers will share their thoughts on some of their biggest challenges growing in a regulated system, share some of their trials and tribulations as they immersed themselves in their position, as well as share some their wishes on what Health Canada can do to better the growing experience and the quality of cannabis. The overall goal is to bring together a nationwide informal network of growers with a yet to be determined purpose – be it social, technical, or advocacy.

Afternoon Intermission
It’s a Bong Show
Keynote Presentation
Tony Chapman believes we are squandering first-mover advantage with cannabis, the most significant consumer product launch in our history, and at a time when Canada’s economy is starving for growth. Instead of unleashing free enterprise to cultivate, invest in science, file patents and create brands we handcuff them and turn a blind eye to the black market which generates more cannabis revenue in North America than McDonalds and Starbucks combined.
In this keynote, Chapman shares what he would do to set Canada up for sustained success in this once in a lifetime opportunity.
