Chemical surface disinfectants are a key element of the biosecurity programs in licensed producer facilities. While biocidal efficacy and spectrum of activity are arguably the main factors in chemical disinfectant selection, other factors are being increasingly taken into consideration. These factors include occupational safety profile, compatibility with surface materials, simplicity and ease of proper use, environmental profile and ease of disposal.
At the end of the seminar, participants will be able to: identify the desired traits of disinfectants, develop a greater understanding of disinfectant product labels, ensure that the method of application will meet the facilities needs and delve into practices for using disinfectants to minimize occupational health and safety concerns. This session will be of interest to anyone involved in the selection of products and implementation of cleaning and disinfection programs.

Recent HVAC innovations can change the way cultivators approach environment control in their grow facilities. Equipment breakthroughs mean greater control over their crop, leading to increased quality and fewer plants lost to mold or disease.
But growers can’t get the best quality equipment for their grow rooms if they don’t have access to the crucial information necessary to ask the right questions and make the right decisions. Out-of-date thinking has impeded the industry so far from taking full advantage of the choices available to them.
In this session, Geoff Brown reviews the science and math behind smart HVAC decisions and equips you with the knowledge needed to achieve maximum return on your investment.

Panel Discussion
Selling legal cannabis remains a work in progress, with several marketing hurdles to overcome. Not least of these is that its main competition, the black market, also operates freely online at sales levels equal to its legal counterparts. So the question remains: with such a thriving illicit market, how do we, the legal ones, attract our customers back? Is thought-leadership content the way to go? Or is social media going to be our saving grace? This panel of marketing experts will look at the road ahead and seek answers to these questions and more.
