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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Presentation
The commercialization of medical and edible cannabis are limited by the current delivery and consumption methods. The plant oil extracts are hydrophobic in nature, which limits their application in water-based systems. Furthermore, cannabis oils have a very low oral bioavailability. Nanotechnology is a promising strategy address theses issues. There are two different approaches to produce nano-sized oil droplet in water phase. A mechanical approach in which high shear or high intensity ultrasound waves are used to breakdown oil droplets to 100-500 nm. However, this approach is energy-intensive and the finished products are not stable in long term. Microemulsions are the most advanced approach for creating stable, nano-sized droplets (10-100 nm), water-soluble and bioavailable products. A team of U of T researchers have developed a delivery system made with FDA-approved ingredients that can enhance the absorption of drugs 4 folds. Therefore, 1/4 drug per dose is needed compared to conventional methods and hence it is a cost-saving strategy. The platform can also be used to extract cannabis oil from the plant tissues much more effective than using the traditional solvents.
