Building Your Portfolio In An Evolving Market:

Speculators were following the money even before Canada’s recreational cannabis business began to take root. But now that major players have had time to flex their market muscles, analysts are already noticing strong trends. This session will track developments in the cannabis business in the U.S. and Canada, the most recent estimates of market size and growth, and the relationship between the large and small enterprises. Will the biggest companies seek to consolidate to restrict a rush of new competitors? What are the most promising areas of new investment? And what will it all mean to market suppliers? Moderator: Jay Rosenthal, Business of Cannabis
