Are you a cannabis leader?

Do you know a cannabis leader? 

The Top 50 list recognizes influential leaders in the cannabis industry who are trailblazers in the growth, development and innovation of the cannabis industry, and celebrate their relentless, courageous, and innovative dedication to elevate the industry.

“The cannabis industry is brimming with talent, passion and expertise, and we’re excited to recognize the innovators, trailblazers and dedicated industry members who are truly building the foundation for the future of cannabis,” says Randy Rowe, President of Grow Up Conference & Expo.

Nominate yourself, a friend, employee, colleague or another outstanding industry leader anytime between now and December 17th for a chance to shine in the spotlight as we curate this list to honor the most dedicated change makers. 

Leaders can be nominated now with submissions closing on December 17, 2024. Grow Up will carefully review all applications and will bring additional nominations as well. The final Top 50 List will be announced in January 2025.

Cannabis industry professionals are invited to self-nominate or nominate a staff member or colleague. Nominees must be a Canadian citizen, landed immigrant or resident, and Canadians working around the globe are eligible.

A leader can be a person in any cannabis industry role who has been instrumental in the success of a business, product or initiative. Retailers, growers, business experts, owners, managers, investors, budtenders, innovators, technology gurus, educators, researchers, and other active cannabis leaders qualify as a potential nominee, no matter how extensive their history in this space may be. Only members of the cannabis industry will be considered eligible.

The final list will include individuals not nominated by this form, as decided in confidence by Grow Up.

The final list will be notified by January 2025, and must keep their inclusion confidential until the official announcement of the Grow Up Top 50 Cannabis Leaders in Canada 2025. 

Grow Ups Top 50 Canadian Cannabis Industry Leaders List will be announced in January, 2025.
