Growing Relationships AB – Edmonton, 2025

| Staff

We’re bringing our Growing Relationships B2B event, with our Title Partner Breadstack, to Alberta on April 28 ~ the second stop on our coast-to-coast tour!
And, we’ve partnered with Tether Budtenders to deliver something for everyone!

LOCATION: Bison Lodge, Edmonton, AB
DATE: Monday, April 28, 2025
TIME: 9am – 3pm MT (Edmonton timezone)

Growing Relationships is a one-day B2B event that brings together retailers, producers, and ancillary services for networking, brainstorming, discussion, and learning. It’s designed to support business growth by providing an opportunity and space to build connections, share insights, and be part of the community conversations. We aim to deliver our events in the under-served communities, with the goal of opening up accessibility to industry events.

Our Edmonton 2025 event includes our signature networking activities and roundtable industry discussions. An essential component of Growing Relationships is engaging the community in discussions and brainstorming on current industry issues from diverse perspectives. We capture these insights and provide a summary to relevant regulators, ensuring they hear directly from those who are actively working in the industry.

And we’re partnering again with Tether to create a full-day program with something for everyone:

  • 9am – 3pm: Growing Relationships
  • 6pm – 8pm: Tether Budtender Event
    (your Growing Relationships tickets will include a promo code for a discount on Tether tickets!)

Attendees will enjoy networking opportunities, engaging discussions, presentations and catered lunch with a local food truck! Hopefully, the April weather cooperates to enjoy the outside deck.

  • ADULT ONLY: This event is only open to 18+ years of age. ID may be requested upon entry and if you do not meet the requirements, no refunds will be provided. 
  • Attendees are required to follow all federal and provincial regulations.

Hear from past attendees

One of the most worthwhile events I have attended…

The Growing Relationships event by StratCann was one of the most worthwhile events I have attended this year. It was nice to meet so many people from all sides of the industry. It was a pleasure to participate in the retailer panel. Looking forward to more events.

One of the most eye-opening and effective conferences…

I found so much value in StratCann’s Growing Relationships event and believe everyone should get to one at least once. It’s one of the most eye-opening and effective conferences I’ve attended. Putting everyone in a room to discuss and try to tackle all the issues together, ADORED IT!
